So my 94 3.0 has a rusty throttle cable and the cruise control cable is broke is there any universal kits that are cheaper than the dealer price $133.00 Just for the throttle I can live with out cruise

Also is there a universal dipstick tube mine rusted in half? dealer wants $36.00 for it.

Or should I hunt these things down in the junk yard?

I think I'd look on ebay.. and ask questions of anyone posting for the exact parts I needed..
Example: If someone is posting for Vlave covers or such.. I'd ask if he had what I was looking for and didn't post it.. But for sure I'd not look in junk yards where all the vehicles were eaten up the same as yours is..

My suggestion for the dipstick is to remove it, find aluminum tube that will fit over the existing tube snug and cut to oem length. It's what I plan on doing.

Thanks for the offer but I am more worried about the throttle cable than the cruise :icon_cheers:
