Throtle rod with threaded ends having ball sockets screwed on, loacated driver side in center of moter, top, hooks foot peddle cable to throttle body linkage at injection pump, breaks near where threading stops in center of rod, purchase of new rod all ways gets "new improved version, please pay at front counter" we pull trailors in city traffic 90+% of the time and loss of throttle pulling out into traffic at on ramp or intersection is not a good experince! Speed control and loss of HVAC duct controls to vents lost due to vacume line spliting behind driver side headlight near metal "can" fuel line splits or holes in front of driver side, above transmission, below fuel filter, fuel leaks all over. All of these problems have been ocurring since vehicle new and have been repaired by dealer and mechanic, we now keep spare vacume and fuel line and throttle linkage in tool box for on site repair, (in intersection for one example) headlight problem new but getting no response from dealer on free fix, but I see on this web site and others that it is a common problem. What to do???? None of these parts are moving parts and so why the ongoing problems, except for headlight switch, but web pages indicate wiring problems in column or lack of relay and overload due to trailor lights. Thanks and plase let me know how to resolve this. Robert alexander h 405‑377‑8120 w 405‑377‑8922 m 405‑743‑8822 fax 405‑377‑9002
