1987 Toyota 4x4 1/2 Ton Truck Question

Hi my friend has a 1987 Toyota 4x4 1/2 Ton Xtra Cab truck with the 3.0l 3vze v6 motor,and it has a rather stretched out throttle cable,and i would like to replace it with a new one,but i am curious as to the availability & cost of a oem toyota throttle cable. I would appreciate your advice on this very much.

Sincerely,
Peter C. Bellantoni Junior

Are you sure the throttle cable is stretched and not just out of adjustment?

The best thing to do might be to call a dealer and ask how much it costs. You might have a hard time finding a throttle cable for an 1987 V6 since that engine was first available in '88.

He shouldn't have that hard a time the 3.0 was a "Special Order" option in '87. Hamer Toyota out here in So Cal $120.
