Welcome to FTE, most guys here aren't going to part with their extra TPS if they have one but there are other things that may get you going again. BTW: It's called an Accelerator Pedal (AP) sensor. If you ask a parts dealer for a TPS you'll get the wrong one. Click the link in my signature for part numbers.

Are you sure you need one?

Yep, they are expensive from the dealer. They are the only game in town for a complete assy. MOst junk yards know how much thet cost and will soak you too.

There is just a sensor for replacement but I havn't heard of anyone that has made it work. Wish I had better news for you. It's about $45

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS Part # TH35
DORMAN Part # 699200

BTW: There are 2 sensors on the accelerator IVS (Idle validation sensor) is the other one.

Take a look at the connectors for bent or pushed in pins. The side to side movement will cause it to act up too, as explained in the link I gave you.

check here and the tds classifieds for a used pedal. i bought a spare off there a year or two bakc for 80 bucks to keep behind the seat. i sold it though sorry.

also the 96+ pedal will work on your truck and its a lot cheaper than your year. its like 150 iirc. good luck
