Hello,

While taking things apart to drill out a broken bolt I broke a throttle housing or something. O'Riellys looked at me like I was crazy and had no idea what I wanted.

 

An extractor. But if I see what you broke, a regular drill bit would work.

 

I have a set of extractors and order a left handed set today, due in Friday, for the broken bolt from the thermostat housing.

What I broke also is the throttle cable housing, I am calling it.

The area in the green shows what it should look like and what I broke off.

 

Im thinking you'll have to replace that hole piece..unless you jerry rig it somehow.

 

If you are referring to the black plastic that is the top end of the throttle valve cable. To remove it you pull the plastic toward the front of the truck in line with the direction the cable runs. You might need to hold the throttle valve steady. If you broke it you'll need a new cable. Setting the cable properly controls when the trans shifts. https://www.justanswer.com/dodge/1ot...-throttle.html

 

I did not break the cable just the housing. The cable has what looks like a fishing weight at the end, I have not give it a close look to see it it is removable.
Does any know what the part is called and if Autozone, NAPA or O'Rielly's would have it? The dealership here in town a not fun to deal with.

 

It may be just the end; but that shows as being part of the throttle valve or throttle position cable; see, for instance, https://www.factorychryslerparts.com...category=20311 for an exploded parts diagram with the part numbers for a 1994; use that site for your year your motor (which you haven't specified; that may be needed for the specific part number)

After getting the part number from there, you can search Ebay or Amazon or other vendors for that part number and order it, or just pick up that # at the dealership.

Junkyard is going to be your best bet....almost certainly no parts house is going to carry that part separate and not part of an entire new cable assembly.

 

Not sure you would be able to change it without destroying the cable in any event.....

 

Ralph P thank you for the site. The cable I am finding on the site seems to be the other one, not the one that I broke.

Robertmee I just checked pick and pull and they have 2 1992 Dakotas that just came in the last 4 days. Will have to get down there.

HeyYou So it might be best to what? Superglue it or replace the whole cable assembly?
