700R4 TV Cable -- WARNING!!!!!

[Speddmon]

WARNING TO ALL
​

DO NOT BUY THE TV CABLE FROM ROCKAUTO.COM FOR AN 84 K5 Blazer w/ 6.2L, IT IS THE WRONG CABLE!!!!!!!

I bought the cable from Rockauto and it is the wrong cable! The ACDelco part number of the cable they say fits the truck is 25515598....IT SHOULD BE 25515599. The cable from Rockauto is too long by about 7.5". The proper cable should be 36.1" long OAL, and the one from Roackauto is 43.74" long OAL.

Attached is a PDF with the service bulletin for all GM repair shops with the part numbers and cable "Codes" for the TV cable for the '84 K5 w/6.2L Diesel

The proper cable is a code FK cable, part # 25515599

Rockauto does have a listing for a Dorman cable part #04216, under a '81 Buick Regal with a 3.8 L. The proper ACDelco number is in the description for that cable.

No big deal if you have gas cable. Use a small cable clamp to shorten it.

Did Rockauto exchange it for you?

 

[Speddmon]

I returned it for a refund.

 

[southdave]

you didn,t smoke the tranny??

 

[Speddmon]

No Dave, luckily I noticed the length problem before I started the truck and was able to replace the cable with one from NAPA

I cant locate a cable

I have an 86 k5 stock 6.2 civilian with 700r4 and the cable only measures 34 1/2 with the cable pulled all the way out. It has a smaller cable that goes to the injection pump I need to replace it but I cant find it anywhere
