I believe thats the way it was on the '99 Grand Cherokee where the engine
debuted. (not sure about the 2000 or 2001 GC..) But for the Dak it is
definitely a real cable.

Good article on the 4.7 But look at this statement from the article --
"Even wilder is the absence of a throttle cable - it's fly by wire, dudes.
All you're doing when you mash the 'gas' is sending a signal to the
computer, which will, hopefully, respond faster than "All ahead full....aye,
aye, captain."

This can't be true because if you press the gas pedal with the battery
disconnected the throttle body still opens and closes.
