Problem

I have a 1993 f250 and im swapping a 1997 Powerstroke into it. I have most everything done but the throttle is pissing me off, in the gasser is a simple throttle cable, the diesel is all electric with a few plugs on it (im new to this sort of electronic throttle). How do i swap that? Do i have to rewire my whole dash? Inputs are greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Eric

yes, you are going to have to use the under dash and cab wiring harness from the diesel cab, also the diesel dash cluster. gas and diesel wiring and gauge clusters are different.

yea, but it is a lot easier than trying to do point to point wiring.

Is it just the throttle pedal plugs that are different?

I have the wiring harness swapped in the engine bay. The fuse box has all been swapped and it plugs into my dash plug so i figured all was good.
