The shift cable features a sturdy steel wire core for strength and responsiveness, wrapped in a protective PVC sleeve to resist abrasion and moisture. This combination provides corrosion resistance and long-term wear protection in under-hood and underbody conditions common to full-size trucks.

• Inner core: heavy-duty steel wire for tensile strength
• Outer sleeve: PVC material for abrasion and corrosion protection
• Engineered for repeated flexing and vehicle movement
• Manufactured to match OEM fitment form and function

How easy is installation and what should I expect during replacement?

The kit is designed as a direct replacement to simplify installation for technicians and experienced DIYers. Standard tools and basic mechanical skills are usually sufficient; expect to unclip the old cable at the shift lever and transmission, then route and connect the new cable following OEM routing and attachment points.

• Direct-fit design replaces OEM 12477640 without major modification
• Typical installation requires basic hand tools and vehicle support
• Inspect routing clips and brackets when removing the old cable
• Adjust cable position for correct gear lever alignment after install
