Any body know how much a complet 7.3 weighs? I was going to put a hand throttel in my truck, i was going to splice a switch into the harness and mount another TP sensor. I dont see any reason it won't work. anybody done that or seen it done?
I have BIG plans.dieslpower97 said:? Why would you want a hand throttle?
I was going to run the TPS wires into the switch and switch it to run the factory TPS or the one for a hand throttle.pontiacross said:I have seen 2 throttles on some intenational garbage trucks with dual drive cab's. I am pritty sure their TPS's are designed basicly the same way as in our pickups. How they worked is they spliced into all of the wires for the TPS except the power wires and run them to the new one. for the power wires they run the wire from the old and new TPS to a 2 way switch, where when you have the switch in one direction the origanl sensor is getting power. then you flit it and only the new switch gets power.
if that dosent make sence I'll try and drawl a diagram or something.
