    is there a way to retro fit the old style peddle into a newer w900? the way they designed the fuel peddle makes my leg tired when i cant use the cruise.

    Bit of a tough row to hoe here, you will have to match the TPS and/or Idle validation switch, if nessacery/different, as well as just making a different pedal fit.

    i figured it wouldnt be an easy job or everyone would be putting the old peddles in the new trucks...sure would be nice if the peddle wasnt so light...parts guy do u know of a way to make it stiffer?

    Unless you can get at the spring, you probably cant adjust the tension. PM me your ser# if I have one on the shelf i can get a better idea of what you are up against.

    the new pedal is in kind of a strange position. I have learned to hold my foot on its side on the floor to the right of it with just the edge of my foot on it. lol. I too am not one to use the cruise often
