Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Throttle position switch

[jhiers]

Had my throttle position switch or bell crank go out this morning after a 200 mile trip. Limped in to the Dodge dealer and they diagnosed it. The technician gave it a couple of taps and it began working again. They dont have the part in stock and I need to get back to south Fl asap. The guy seems to think i may be fine to continue my trip. Parts and labor is $850. I was wondering if you guys know of any place I could possibly order this part for cheaper and has anyone had experience with this.

Sorry, I forgot to add, the truck is a 2001 3500 DRW

They list that one also, #TPS98502, same price. bg PS, Just noticed the numbers are the same, might want to call and verify that is the one. 1-800-755-1715 or genosgarage.com. bg

Here's another option, after you get home:

The Famous Timbo APPS.

The dealer will only offer the entire belle crank assembly which is completely unneccessary. The only thing that ever goes bad is the apps (or tps as your refferring to). Save yourself a ton of money and order the one through Genos as posted above. You will get just the apps through Genos not the belle crank assembly. It will come with complete instructions on how to swapt the part and calibrate it, might take you 45 minutes at most.

Edit... I see a post above for Timbos as well have heard great things about his apps I was only referring to the Genos part because thats what I bought and it worked great. I had the part within a few days as well.
