Play in accelerator pedal?

Play in accelerator pedal?
I have about an inch and a half of play in my accelerator pedal before it starts to pull on the cable. Does yours work like this (see truck in my signature)?
Also, I feel the throttle body is not fully opening because of how the cable connects to the top of the throttle body, I could see how the plastic connector getting in the way a little, seems to fit fine and work fine otherwise.
Could there be more than one throttle cable part number for these year trucks? What is a known good part number I can use to verify with mine?

Having too much slack in the cable is pretty common. It doesn't mean you have the wrong part number, it's just sloppy manufacturing and/or a worn-out/stretched cable. I've heard of cables having slack in them even when the truck was brand new. A common fix is to just take a bunch of zip-ties and tie them around the end of the cable to take up the slack.
