eaglescout526 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Just puttin a feeler out here. I made Renix cruise control kits a couple years back with used genuine parts/new trusted aftermarket parts. I have a plethora of parts now and I'm curious on how many people would be interested in a kit. If it’s one or two folks, I’ll do a couple kits and all the components will probably be sold off as this process is a bit of a pain as I hand build the vacuum harnesses new. It will be exactly like the kits AMC offered back in the day and instructions faithful to the original document is also included. Please comment here so I can gauge interest. Please tell your other Renix buddies that if they want cruise control for their MJ or XJ, now is the time as I probably won’t ever make these kits again. I should mention that I have plenty of 4.0L part for cruise. 2.5L brothers, i don't think I have any. It’s mostly the servo cable is mainly what the difference is.

Minuit Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 This just reminded ME that I also have some of your cruise control stuff. Would be interested in a full kit to put it all together at some point in the indeterminate future. How many kits worth of parts do you think you'd be able to put together?

I think I have enough parts for at least 5. Mostly because the vac footballs and speed sensor shortage. I’d have to check my counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveevryjp1998 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I bet I can help make more kits if it were to come to that. I bet I have some 4 port vacuum balls still with the potential to get more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizarroStormy Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I would definitely buy one! Only thing I feel my truck is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 do the vacuum balls really need to be XJ/MJ factory units? there should be others out there in junkyard land that would fit the bill. any chance that grand cherokees have something similar?

No they can be the GM cans. I don't know about the HO since they’re single port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Janitor Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 How much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is more of how many folks are interested type deal. But the price I’ve been tossing around is $200. It accounts for the kit+time+assembly(vac hoses)and shipping.

yungupgrade Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Would these be for manual or the automatic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the wiring harnesses are for auto trans. The only difference between the two is the manual has a switch that turns cruise on and off for shifting which isn’t needed unless you need to shift then you just tap the brake pedal and shift as normal and hit resume on the stalk.

I saw some writeup on here about a guy went to a junkyard and found a factory module and installed it in his truck which was cool. I'm interested, but with the current state of my shopping list for jeep parts there's still a lot of things that take precedence over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkey8195 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I would be interested in one for my 88 5spd. Kinda hate not having cruise sense I like to take some longer drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 I will start a new official thread this evening. I will include the details of the kit, warranty of irreplaceable parts(will explain), price(will break down) and what will have to be acquired on the user end(will explain this too). I’ll include a list of the members I have in order of who approached first and will be sending out PMs in the order. I’ll do it in a similar style that Dzimm did with his tail lamps.
