I'm not sure about the cable but I have checked it and its kind of loose. It should be like that?

Loose like "sliding in and out" or loose like "I can wiggle the cable"? The cable, being a cable, can jiggle, but it shouldn't slide where it's adjusted.

That's the throttle cable. Both of the bare cables will be loose in between where they connect to the TB and where they are mounted.

Two more questions tonight:
1. What about if my truck have hard time to go slowly? What I mean is when I just release the brake pedal its not moving at all. I thought its maybe because of the weight of the truck,but my other friend have no problems with that.
Its can be a TV cable fault? Its not tight enough.and the throttle its not opening how its should?
2. When I bought my truck I have a lot of "playing" in my steering. Took the truck to the shop. Parts and labor $1800. I think they change everything what is possible from steering.
The thing is,Yesterday when I look under my truck I have realize that all the ball joints,rubber covers are rusty and old. They are cracked. Its looks like they just put some grease inside of each one.
Do you guys think that it is possible that they didn't do what they supposed to do?

Did they say they were going to replace the ball joints? Check your invoice. If so, then, no, they weren't replaced. The rubber should not be old and dry ... unless it was done some years ago.

Also, on the TV cable ... you said earlier that AAMCO had the transmission out ... how long ago? THEY need to check the TV adjustment. It's part of the job. They may have left the cable loose. That would explain all your drivability issues.

AAMCO have rebuild my transmission about 2 weeks ago. I have to go back there anyway because this is a part of warranty. Yes. On the invoice its says that they have replaced the ball joints. And all other stuff.

Take it back and ask THEM why the boots are all dried out if they're supposed to be new. I'd be interested in the answer.
