thejim42 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Anyone ever add factory cruise control to their truck. I want to put in on my 88 4.0 5 speed. I have an 86 2.5 5 speed parts truck with factory cruise that I can probably scavange most of my parts from.
AeroNautical Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 I had no idea they put cruise control on manual trucks, I'd think if you hit the clutch with it engaged it wouldn't take long for it to red line your engine, unless there was a safety for that. Makes me want one, now!
thejim42 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 There is a switch on both the brake and clutch so if you step on either pedal it shuts cruise off.
8valvehero Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 I'm doing the exact same thing. You need the appropriate column with cruise selector, control box, throttle diaphragm w bracket, brake and clutch sensors, enlarged vac. res. and absolutely ZERO vac. leaks.I'm still collecting parts and I'm sure that I missed something because I'm figuring it out as I go. I'm not sure what the control box looks like yet, I need to boogie to the JY and grab one from my fav. donor, but it should be basically a little servo that controls the diaphragm on the throttle.
8valvehero Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 shoot me a pm and i'll snap some pics when I pick it up
thejim42 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Posted September 2, 2014 The vacuum res. Is the plastic canister mounted in the bumper on the passenger side right?
8valvehero Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 yeah that's it. the cruise-control donor i'm using had a much larger vacuum reservoir
