No, they can be reused, I do it all the time.

Not recommended but can be done. Cheaper to replace bolts than a motor or head because a bad bolt. You know the saying... condoms are cheaper than kids. Lol

Cusser... What's with the twin throttle cables on your truck? Does it have cruise control?

Yep, my B2200 has aftermarket cruise control on it, about 10 years now.

I originally had it hooked up to the stock carb, had a separate cam already there for factory cruise control. When I changed to Weber 32/36 DGEV I had to get a little creative, works fine.

My CC unit is an Audiovox CSS-100, now that line has been acquired/sold by Rostra. I'm also thinking of installing a Rostra CC into my 2004 Frontier, I don't want to swap this one over.
