I have a 2001 F250 with 7.3. We swapped the auto for a zf6 manual. We left the auto's shift position sensor tied to the frame and left in neutral. I did install a pcm from a manual transmission pickup. Also have the clutch position switch hooked up. I have an Edge Evolution CTS2 reprogrammer, and on the display the gear indication always shows P. I suspect that is why my cruise doesn't work. For interests sake, I tried manually adjusting the shift position sensor through all gears, and the reverse lights come on when in reverse but the Edge's display always shows P. My question is with a manual transmission, how does the pcm know that it is in gear? The only sensor that I am aware of is the reverse sensor on the zf6. I would be glad to answer more specific questions about this. Also any ideas. Thanks in advance.
BTW, I love my manual tranny...

 

I got the cruise working!!!! What I had to do was take the tan/white on the overdrive cancel switch (which on the switch side of the connector on steering column is tan/light blue) and soldered it to the tan/light blue on the clutch position switch. On the PCM on pin 29 it is different for manual versus automatic transmission and I thought that I would try this not really expecting it to work but it does!! Thanks!!

 

That's awesome and Thanks for the follow up it will help anyone else making this swap.....

 

Would like some more info on this, I did what you did in the description and it did not work. Not sure that I did it right. My cruise did work when it was auto. Haven’t checked the fuses yet. Thanks!

 

I did this so long ago and I don't really remember a whole lot about what all I did. You can ask specific questions but I might not remember enough to help you out.

btw, I'm still using the pickup.
