Rigging up cruise control

[Handy Andy]

actually, scratch that, I just found a pdf of a service manual for my exact truck and it has a pretty good layout of the CC system. I should be able to get it all fingered out

I put a Rostra in my 73 dually and it was all plug and play, easy as can be to install, they are a real nice unit.

Did you buy a control switch from them? I'm trying to incorporate my oem on-the-stalk cruise control functions. It doesn't look like it will be hard to figure out tho.

Yep, they have all different kinds of stalks to fit your application to make it look like factory, if you go to their site look for universal kits and you'll see a whole list to choose from.

yea I was looking those over, they don't have any that match the one in my truck so I guess I'll just have to work on getting the original one wired up to the rostra kit

Well that sucks, I'd call them up and ask them about it and see what they say about it, maybe they have one that would work and not shown, if anything maybe they they can walk you through hooking it up to your deal, wouldn't hurt to ask..

Or give up and cheap out. I think Lowe's have bricks for about $.78 cents.

Didn't mean to be a smart ass but.... When I drove that Kia from Los Angeles to OKC that I picked up from my cousin, and my bad back... OMG was my back killing me on that drive. I have a piece of New Mexico with me. I hurt so damn bad, I did. I pulled the hell over and found me a good rectangular like rock out there in the desert on the roadside. It took some adjusting and getting it just right but I did get some relief on the flat straight aways.

Yea, I sent them an email a few days ago. If I don't hear back from them by the time I get the truck back from the transmission shop then I will probably give them a call. Had to take the truck in cuz the TCC solenoid took a **** and the transmission is under warranty. Hoping to get it back before November 10th cuz that is deer season opener up here.

When I bought mine I had to call them on an issue and they're customer service was very good, they straightened it out right away so I'm sure they'll help you out.... Sucks about the tranny, glad it's under warranty though..
