Default Cruise control cable replacement - Dodge RAM 2007 SLT 4.7L

Hello guys. This is my first post as a member. Though I had been an active viewer since long time.
Few days back I was driving on highway at 140kmph with cruise control engaged. Suddenly the truck started accelerating , I turned cruise control off and pushed brakes but it kept on accelerating. I put the truck in neutral to gain control and thankfully it came under control.
The throttle seemed stuck , but became unstuck within 2-3 seconds when I had put it in neutral.
I went to workshop to get it checked and found cruise control cable had been repaired with a twisted wire at end (as its original locking might have got damaged).
I could also see the chaffing of this wire on metal body beside the throttle body (seems like this wire got stuck when this incident happened).
Since it is a potential hazard, I got the cruise control cable removed.

Can you guys pls advise if its possible to get only the replacement cable ? Or do I have to get it replaced along with the servo motor. Applicable part number would be big help.

Thanks in advance.
