I’ve tried a new spring and tuning, but I think the pedal is just lousy and I want to replace it. I’m not seeing any OEM, just aftermarket. Any recommendation of which one to go with? Thanks!

I took a shot on a replacement. We'll see how it goes. At worst, I have a spare as these get harder to find.

Thanks. I had two - that one and this one:

I bought the latter. Hope it works out :)

Mixed results. The accelerator arrived today. Contrary to the auction claim that it’s made in Canada, it’s made in China. It also sits stupid high at rest, compared to my stock pedal. It’s about even with the brake pedal when neither are being pressed.

On a positive note, a short drive leads me to believe that it is nowhere near as twitchy. So I’m torn between keeping it and adjusting the free height, or sending it back and bitching them out for unethical sales practices. I’ll probably keep it and tweak it or rob Peter to pay Paul and change the arm with the stock arm or something. Hmm.

I don't know about you but I just HATE it when people try to cheat me. Your choice as to what you do. At least it's better in some aspects vs what you already have.

Unfortunately. You purchased the one from Pensacola Diesel...

Ok. I’m more pissed now. I looked up the Chinese part that I received and it’s a $44 part.

Wells Vehicle Electronics... interesting. $42.89 on Rock Auto...

I found a Dorman Version and a Standard Motor Products version But they were around $75 range. Maybe they are just reselling the WVE version.
