Where's Mark when you need him?! He posted in a thread awhile back giving the year break for the different cables. I'm pretty sure it's the firewall end that is different. The engine end is the same between the two if that helps. The firewall end will either be a square hole or a round hole IIRC..?

Ok thanks :D i was just worried about the engine side of the throttle cable being different and me having to afro engineer it to work. I have a 91.5 so ill get which ever one he says i need because im sure he has one, and dodge wants like $100 for one and they have to order it.

'89-'91 is the same.
'92-'93 is the same.

Early has a round hole and is clipped in.
Late has a sqaure hole and is flex-tabbed in.

A simple stepped drill bit makes a square hole into a round one to use the early cable in the late truck. :D
