Sounds to me like the cable is binding somewhere. Check to see if the turns in the cable are free flowing, or if they are tight and extream.

Thumbs up

When this happens, I usually just pull the dash and take the truck around the block to see if the cable end spins. It's always been the cable being bad. It might be snapped off internally and not visible
