Hey guys,

Does anyone know of a way to add cruise control to a 97 that never had it? I have looked at aftermarket stuff but I haven't found one for my truck yet.
I think I will have to find some factory parts to make this work, but aside from the steering column I have no idea what else is in the system.
I'd appreciate any suggestions, thanks.

 

Is it an auto or a manual? If it is an auto the only parts you need is the steering wheel pad that has the CC buttons on it.

 

I have a couple of extra pads if you are interested....

It's an automatic. I've been thinking about changing out the column to get a tilt column anyway. That's great news, thanks.

 

Thanks very much, but I think I'm going to swap the whole column. I've been looking at new trucks lately but I can't stop thinking about how much I could do to this truck 1/2 the price of a new one.

 

It should be pretty much a plug and play then with a tilt and CC column.

 

For my manual truck I plugged the CC horn pad and a sensor under the hood at the brake cylinder. 15$ and I had cruise.
