'98 GMC Sierra Gas Pedal Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting JS_GMC User Sep 18, 2009, 11:51 AM Post #1 of 4 (1611 views) '98 GMC Sierra Gas Pedal Sign In I have a '98 GMC Sierra, 1/2 ton, 5.7 liter V8, 4WD. My gas pedal in the truck is a little loose. It will move side to side about an 1" or so. You can really feel it move when driving off road. I am wondering how to fix this. Where does the pedal assembly meet up with the cable link heading to the engine? I know something has to be loose, and am wondering if there is a way to tighten it up. Thanks.

It attaches to the throttle cable that comes through the firewall. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Not sure if you were thinking the pedal part you rest your foot on or not. Does the frame attach outside the firewall? I would assume it attaches out there, and then links up with the throttle cable.
