There is suppose to be a spring there? I thought it was just suppose to run up to the rubber grommet on the firewall with just 1/8" of play.

I have it adjusted to move it around and put it on a trailer for now, but it is virtually working like an on/off switch with little room for slippage.

The truck goes to inspection this week. It will pass as is, but I still need to figure this out. The cable tightens to the point where the threaded end isnt even in the rubber grommet on the firewall anymore. Is there suppose to be something to hold the cable down to prevent it from moving?
