Adding cruise control to a 2005 F150 4.2L
Hello! I'm trying to figure out how / if cruise control can be added to a 2005 F150 with the 4.2L V6. I bought an aftermarket kit, popped the hood, and then learned all about electronic throttles . What (aside from adding the cruise control switches) do you have to do?
Thanks!

Cruise Control
Unfortunately my local dealer seemed somewhere between clueless and uninterested. Maybe I'll see if I can get a wheel off of eBay like it was suggested and talk to another dealer about reflashing the PCM. Has anyone here had this done (or done it if you're a tech)?
Thanks again!

Jamie,
I had purchased my steering wheel for about 100bux, (98.xx) from a dealership in the next state over (NC) and went back home to Greenville and had my dealership put it on. This was also a clueless thing for them too. But after careful coaxing and the potential that I'd bring'em return buisness for similar things, I talked them into it. They figured if their techs knew how to replace one for (any) reason they should know how to put on in for the first time. I did remind them however that it would have to be turned on in the pcm/ecm (they prolly knew already). So right less than 70bux and a hr later, out comes my truck with cruise control. Final cost ...approx. 169$ including a brand new steering wheel. I would have attempted it myself, but I was home on vacation- and wanted to keep my wrench turning to a minimum.

Black Speed Control
Part Number: 4L3Z-9A818-AAA
MSRP: $165.93
Note!: I didn't pay nearly that much by purchasing it locally from a dealer. (Dale Jarrett Ford) The dealer had 4-5 on the shelf- everyone else would have had to order it. The 165. is pretty close to what I paid for the kit and install together. I purchased it at Dale Jarrett and had my Local dealer (Fairway Ford) do the swap.

I see y'all are clueless as the ford dealer about installing cruise control on the 2004 to 2008 F150.
www.bought4less.com sells the cruise control kit for $120. It must have the ECM flashed.
Great thing is it looks and operates like factory.

I dunno, maybe this module wasn't available way back in '06 when this thread was first posted. And '07's and '08's weren't even being made yet.
