Default Gas Pedal Creak

I have an 06 QC with the 4.7 V8 and 6spd manual transmission.

My gas pedal creaks. I think it is the throttle cable. It only does it in gear and under load. I had it to the dealer once and their solution was to cable tie the throttle cable closer to the firewall. This worked for about 100 miles. Since then I've tried different combinations of cable ties and it still does it, drives me CRAZY.

Anyone else had this problem? Was the solution a new throttle cable?

My clutch cable groans too, it just is infreqnent and not really noticeable. The gas pedal problem is definitely more noticeable.

IC... well I'll keep an eye out for my gas pedal creakin' too... off the top of my head though... I don't think it does... its hard to tell most of the time cuz my music is so loud... so you'll have to wait until the next time my gf is in the truck.... cuz I'm not allowed to listen to the music so loud when she's in the truck... lol

Gotta love UConnect...the phone rings, the radio shuts off automatically, hit the button on the mirror and start talking. I have a manual tranny, too...it's so easy to talk on the phone...
