There is a post pending right now regarding cables being supplied which do not match original design intent. There should be a ferrule to grab, which also will act as a stop, so the cable stays put in the clamp. The ferrule needs a detent style groove for the clamp bolt, to clamp onto ferrule and hold cable from slipping.
The aftermarket, so far, does not have that. The pending post is waiting to see if a cable ordered from LMC Truck is correct. All other vendors have the NFG cable. Yours is the NFG cable. Woof359 is the member we are waiting to hear from.
I would stand by on that install until it's figured out. You may have to return yours and get a LMC. If the LMC is also NFG. A solution will come forth from the group.
The issue is that all the vendors have an actual picture of the cable and we can see its NFG. LMC does not have a pic, however another member has purchased one from LMC in the past and it's correct. In my opinion, someone needs to purchase from them now and see if they still sell the good cable...or send a pic of the one they sell.
The rubber boot is also an identified issue. It's does not fit, it needs forced and then splits later.
Where and when did you buy yours?Here is the post.
