Need cruise control
Hey guys how's it going I haven't been on this site for a while I just bought my newest toy an 01 7.3l auto tranny 4x4 it's a pretty fun truck to drive but its an Xl model meaning it doesn't even have cruise control just wondering if anybody out there has ever installed cruise into one of these trucks and how big of a job it wood be to do

If you're electrically handicapped, buy a cruise control (and tilt) column, bolt it in and plug in the harness and POOF, cruise control added.
If you can wire something more than a couple fog lights, you can get just the harness and clock spring and steering wheel and add it to your column. But you won't get the tilt wheel.
Yes, it's that easy.
The ecu is capable of cruise as is. And the chassis harness is all wired, it's just missing the column wiring.

Just check the plug at the bottom of the column. It's a square plug all by itself on your truck. Not the round 4 pin one, that's for the idle/charge controller.
I'm pretty sure a tilt/cruise column is the same from 99-e03. None of the trucks have pats so the square plug should have the same number of pins. It should plug in and work.

We are in the powerstroke section. The diesels are drive by wire and dont require the throttle actuator and other associated things.
You have over 25 posts, it would be helpful if you added a signature with truck details. That way I would have seen you potentially had a gas engine and I would have mentioned the extra stuff.
But if you have a psd, that extra stuff doesn't matter. But you still should have a signature.
