Marty K Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Charles, I have purchased the TPS, Williams slave cylinder and foot throttle pedal. I would need your mounting brackets for these parts and directions for installation. Ive had these parts in anticipation of installation, but not much help from these vendors. Please send me your phone number so I may purchase some of your parts. Thank you Marty K bighillsmarty@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRY1942 Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) UPDATE: Air Throttle Conversion Kit Only ten (10) kits have been manufactured and four (4) remain available. Due to varying installations, the Throttle Cable has been deleted from the kit, but easily obtained from several sources. Price of the kit has been reduced to reflect this change.

CRY1942 Posted March 4, 2022 Author Share Posted March 4, 2022 The first ten (10) Air Throttle Conversion Kits have been sold. Feedback on the base kit has been positive, thanks to all. Currently getting bids from machine shop for ten more sets. Unfortunately prices keep going up, especially for steel parts. As a reminder, this is for mechanical Cummins diesels only. Anyone interest in information, feel free to contact me. Best wishes and Travel safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwleckie Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I have an immediate need for parts and information to convert my 98 Monoco with C8.3L mechanical diesel. King controls dead - running a clothesline throttle cable 😢. Any advice or kits available for a desperate RVer?

David Leckie dwleckie@cox.net Try messaging Charles at CRY1942 above, he's the one organizing the air throttle replacement kits. Does your cruise control still work, but not the throttle itself? You might try taking the King Control box into an electronics repair shop to see if they can fix it. Also, try tracing the connectors from the throttle to the box, could be a corroded or otherwise lose or damaged connector issue relatively easily resolved.

dwleckie Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Thank you. I have sent an email to him as well. The servo in the King is shot. I’m planning for the air throttle with an aftermarket cruise control I bought on Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
