jimoshel Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Find a XJ with cruise. Swap everything over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotex Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Find a XJ with cruise. Swap everything over. Are the controls on the turn signal switch, or on the steering wheel? If on the switch, can't I just swap the levers, or do I need to still swap the whole column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadiseMJ Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 The control for CC is on the stalk...if you have a column with a cruise stalk, you're good. If not it's probably easier to swap the whole thing. You need: The switch & wiring The servo The cable to the throttle body (and the bracket that holds it) The throttle body that the cable hooks to (my 88 Pioneer did not have the same exact throttle body as my 90 XJ Laredo) The two sided football shaped vacuum reservoir as opposed to the round ball. ...and an understanding of how it all works.

AMCJeepMJ Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Could start by swapping a cruise equipped column or as jim stated above, find a donor and get to swapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jons87mj Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 You will also need the speedo cable and the speed sensor that goes on the cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkenvol Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 As I understand it, the speed sensor is behind the speedo. The cable from the tranny/tc screws into the speed sensor and then a short cable from the speed sensor to the speedo. If your truck came with a cruise and you wanted to eliminate the speed sensor for some reason, would the cable from the tranny/tc be too short to screw onto the speedo? If your truck didn't come with cruise and you were adding it, would your existing cable be too long or could you just unscrew it from the speedo and screw it into the speed sensor? In other words, are there 2 different speedo cables (besides the short one between the speedo and the speed sensor)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotex Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Thought I would add some diagrams so we are all on the same page when talking about the parts needed to add cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biotex Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Another member saw my wanted parts ad and sold me all the parts to add cruise. I'll do a step by step once I get the parts and my truck together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
