What are common issues with a 99 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel throttle cable?

I’ve had my fair share of headache with the 99 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel in Buffalo, NY. That throttle cable’s a real pain, keeps acting up like it’s got a mind of its own! Bunch of folks in our local truck club say it’s a weak spot, especially the connectors—they rust faster than Thanksgiving leftovers. Regular check-ups help, but nothing’s foolproof. Anyone else dealing with this stubborn bugger?

I’ve dealt with a finicky throttle cable on my '99 Dodge Ram in Minnesota; it kept snagging. I’ve heard from others in Canada that it stretches over time. Just watch out when shifting; it’s a royal pain when it acts up. Chugging along on this old timer sure teaches ya patience!
