#1 is the APP sensor, good luck. I still don't think it's your problem, but I've often swapped things out for the sake of ruling the component out as the source of a problem...

Nope. it's not on the pedal. The APPS is under the battery tray. At least on the 03-04 1500 Hemi it is. There is a cable from the pedal to a small black box under the battery. It's easiest to get to if you remove the inner fender liner.

I've posted these pictures in my other thread titled, Hemi Throttle Issues. I spent 2 hours this morning ripping my truck apart to get to this damn thing. When I called the dealer for a price, I had to ask if it came with a tube of KY. For that much $, it ought to!
