[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 12387, member: 782"] Talking about parts not available after so many years , I always thought a truck was 10 years , but just got burned with 8 1/2 years by Dodge , a 1999 turbo Cummins in a 3500 1 ton has some plastic throttle rod ball joints that had rubber inserts inside the cup , they deteriated and fell off and you can't rev the engine , Dodge no longer available part , tried country wide dealerships , Cummins engne distributors , Napa , Car Quest and all the after market outlets , tried heavy equipment parts deptments as the Cummins engines and in Kamatsu and Case to name a few , finally I found a marine dealer that had a balljoint that could be modified to work , the problem was 1/4 threads on a 60 series (3/8) ball joint , the joint on the governor arm was welded on and access was so that drilling it out and replacing the ball with out removing the governor arm was too much too tight , I think removing the pump would have been easier , my choice of modifing the ball joit end to fit was either get the 1/4 x 40 and enlarge the ball joint cup or get the 3/8 thread x 60 ball and fab a new rod which included a double bend and thread on both sides , so I enlarged the cup with a grinder wth a round carbide tip , it was much more heavy duty than the OEM [/QUOTE]
