Kickdown options (besides full manual valve body) for Drive by Wire

[dickdale]

Besides a full manual valve body, which options are there when using Drive by Wire?

- DIYHEMI uses the 2003-2004/Mercedes TPS which uses the stock gas pedal and adds an other box.

Any other options??

I mounted a Lokar kickdown cable into the factory gas pedal assembly, minus the pedal. The Drive by wire pedal pushes on that. I posted pics somewhere on here. I'll look.

Thanks for you reply and picture. Do you have a picture from the side?

Can the pedal go all the way down?
This would be a great and easiest option.

Interesting...

Great solution!

I do have one other pic. That was mock-up. I've since sent the car out for paint, so it's out of the car. You can see the Lokar cable mounts to the original throttle hole with zero modifications. It has a full range of motion with the electric pedal placed over top like that. The pedal that comes in the new kits has that slight jog to the left, making it perfect. I have the part number if needed.

Please post the part number. Much appreciated.

Same pedal that comes in the recent controller kits for both 5.7 and 6.4, which is 04861714AF

Thanks. I'm going with the Holley Terminator X Max for a controller.

That is the same part number that Holley recommends for their kits.

Just an FYI. My pedal was mounted to its base upside-down. Swapped it no problem.
