Looked at the reviews on summit and everyone hates the instructions but seem pleased with the unit itself.

Well Poo ..

Right from the start a small problem stuck it's ugly head up !

With what little handling I did to install the trick polished aluminum cruise control cover the paint rubbed off in a few areas ..
The lettering really should had been laser etched instead of painted on over a polished finish ... Would had been durable for a long time ...

Not a super biggie, but did want to see a new look on the turn signal arm ...
This item I ordered from "Summit Racing" ..
Called them and told em what I had going down, they said that they will send me another one ...

How cool is dat ?!?

Customer satisfaction is a top priority with that company, I'm here to tell ya ...

I was looking through that manual and it just made me think it seems like an awful lot of trouble for something that amounts to factory GMT400 cruise control module that can be gotten out of any junkyard for $20 or less.

Is that just the Rostra retrofit cruise control stalk? If it is, you will need to have a relay system in order to get the proper signal outputs for cruise control functionality.

My poor old truck is a refugee from a junkyard ... !!

The column is out of a 1975 Cadillac Coupe De Ville (Cut down, highly modified to fit) the screw-in stalk is from a early Ford Maverick ..

Reason for choosing this cruise control kit was mostly the manufacture's name ... Noted for hi-quality products ..

All components in the kit is everything that's needed to have a add-on cruise control ...

BTW ..
If you was wondering what the button is for in the tilt lever arm ..
It's for this ....
