There has to be a way. I don't care if it doesn't look OEM/ Factory, as long as it works properly, I don't even care if it's not electronic (some kind of a dial setup?) it does have to be cheap!

any ideas?

thanks!

 

I imagine you could swap the cruise setup from a donor vehicle into your truck, though I would guess it would be a PITA (maybe I'm wrong). Re: a mechanical setup, I have seen homebuilt cable throttle controls using an old-style bike shifter mounted to the gearshift. I should point out that using something like this on public roads would be a bad idea, and might even have serious legal implications if it ever contributed to an accident.

 

Goto home depot.
Buy a brick.
Bam instant cruse control

 

Step 1: Place brick on ground
Step 2: Slam head into brick
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Repeat

 

you would need to get the cruse control relays, throttle linkage, vacuum actuators, cables and the controls. yes it would be a PITA.

 

thanks for the imnput, i found exactly what i was looking for!

Pretty simple actually if you are on the cluey side of life. There are hundreds of kits out there, some can look very OEM if installed correctly. It all depends on what you call cheap however. You are probably looking at around 350AUD +

 

did you ever figure out how to get those brake pads installed?

Now, you're moving on to adding cruise control?

You move quickly my friend....

 

^^ha I've made a thread just have it answered in the first response..thats why I don't drink and tinker any more... sounded something like, "duuuudes, my door wont open!!! WTF!!?"
first reply, "did you try unlocking it.." (I didn't)
I dont think I responded and asked a mod to erase it... and yea, Im ASE certified!!! hahahaha I wonder why I was so stumped?:drin k:

in that particular order..

 

Cruise control, what's that? Is that related to this "power steering" stuff I keep hearing people talk about?

 

yea, its related to the air conditioning family.

 

What's air conditioning? I live in Canada, my air doesn't need soap, it needs heat!

 

i did figure out the brakes-much easier than i thought- i didn't even have to take the caliper off/ apart (the pins were a PITA to get out/ put back in)
