Cruise Control
How hard is it installing Cruise Control?
I plan on driving my truck a lot when it is completed and I do enjoy my cruise control when I am driving!! It is one option I have never installed, Thanks

Re: Cruise Control
What are your plans for the truck? I have the Rosta Global Cruise on TRUK and like it. TRUK has EFI and a 700r4. You plan on EFI?

Re: Cruise Control
Is your throttle drive-by-wire or a conventional cable?
If it is DBW, it is a 4 wire connection to your TAC module. You'll need to supply it with a brake signal in one of those four wires. The other three go to switches for enable, resume and accelerate IIRC. Dakota Digital will sell you a TAC module and switch for about $500 for the DBW. I bought mine at a junkyard for a few bucks. There's several different GM TAC modules so you'll need to research which one is compatible with your PCM Make sure you snag the TAC module harness with the box if you go the junkyard route. If it is a cable throttle body, you'll need a VSS from your transmission to either the PCM or the firewall throttle servo, I don't remember which. You'll need the same wiring for enable, resume and accelerate. Your throttle body has places for two cables already, Lokar makes a nice cable holder for the ls intake with provisions for two cables - cruise and throttle Youtube is your friend and there's a few videos and schematics how to set them up.

Re: Cruise Control
At the moment I am trying to find a traditional cable mount to use.
I have all the wiring from the donor so I will see if it was a CC vehicle? Thankse015475 "If it is a cable throttle body, you'll need a VSS from your transmission to either the PCM or the firewall throttle servo, I don't remember which." I will check it out!

Re: Cruise Control
I used this bracket from Lokar. They are pretty proud of it.
https://www.lokar.com/assets/instruc...bleBracket.pdf This works if you have a f-body or Corvette intake. I'd imagine there's something for the truck intake too. The Lokar cable was spendy too, I just used a bicycle brake cable and a barrel nut on the other end |

Re: Cruise Control
so you are drive by wire then.
a trip to the wrecker could solve all your issues as the donor vehicle likely had an option for cruise control. if you know what the donor was then look for one of those at the wrecker. grab all the parts including wiring and then make it fit your application. what have you got for a steering column etc, is it totally different than the donor vehicle? if so, still grab all the parts from the donor and then see if you can make something work for your application for the switching parts on the signal lever or the steering wheel. a pic of your set up would be great, under hood throttle body area and also inside showing the steering column/wheel combination. |
