Re: Throttle to DBC

Why not keep DBW? Easy cruise control - just a switch.

Re: Throttle to DBC

Nothing to swapping to dbc, just swap the throttle, but the harness and ecm needs to be setup for it,
I swapped my LQ9 from dbw to dbc..

Re: Throttle to DBC

Many of the Express van PCMs can do both, and have easier A/C control.

My Express van PCM could only do 2-bar. Grrrr.

My guess is you're looking for a throttle pedal/ cable set up to get rid of the stock pedal/ linkage.

I'm looking for the same but I haven't found much for this either.

I used a Lokar pedal mount for a chevelle I think, its modified a bit but works great and you can’t see the weld mod…

Re: Throttle to DBC

One way using the original rod style pedal. https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=691155

Or a cleaner version is to convert to cable throttle. https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=530828

Good luck, Rg
