Adjustable vs Fixed Accelerator Pedal

I have a 2002 F250 with adjustable pedals. The accelerator has developed and off idle dead spot. Can I replace the adjustable pedal with a fixed one? I have read a few posts on this, but the ones I've read don't include an "outcome" reply. Thanks in advance!!

Welcome to FTE.

You might just need to change the TPS (throttle position sensor) under the dash.

Miller_feed,
Thanks for the welcome and the reply. I looked at my pedal assembly; it doesn't appear to have a replaceable TPS.

TPS LOCATION

The TPS is on the throttle body, under the hood.

I forgot to mention that this truck is a 7.3 diesel.
