The Mopar 52079204 Throttle Valve Transmission Kickdown Cable is a genuine OEM replacement designed for 1994-1998 Dodge Ram trucks equipped with the legendary 5.9L Cummins diesel engine.

Replacing the original cable with a genuine Mopar component helps restore factory transmission operation and maintain proper communication between the throttle linkage and transmission.
