FAQ

Is this cable compatible with my 1990 Ford F‑150?

Yes. The dehateo detent cable fits 1990 F‑150 models equipped with 300 or 302 engines and matches the OEM part number F2TZ-7F042-A.

Do I need to replace any other components when installing this cable?

In most cases the cable can be installed as a direct replacement without additional parts. However, we recommend inspecting the throttle linkage for wear and replacing seals if they show signs of damage.

How does the stemless design improve performance?

Removing the stem eliminates a pivot point that can develop play over time. This results in a more immediate and consistent kick‑down response, especially under heavy acceleration.

Yes. The cable comes with all necessary hardware and a step‑by‑step guide. Most DIY enthusiasts can complete the installation in under an hour with basic hand tools.
