Down towards the bottom in my post is the ppart numbers for Cummins. They are pretty cheap.

The new ones from Cummins are also metal and much better quality. I broke my plastic one and glued it back together to get me by

 

This don't cost much either:

If you have the time to make it, you can be pretty much guaranteed it will never fail.

 

thanks for the input but since this happened on the way to work I needed to fix it today . went to napa and found some heim joints that would work and made up a linkage on lunch those metal ends look pretty sweet if my brothers truck ever has a problem Thanks.

 

For some reason I get the feeling that the chain is some sort of cruise control?

I call it a hand throttle and use it mostly to high idle for warmup in the winter. But it does make a pretty good cruise control, as well.
