Cruise Control
03 F150 4.2 4X Standard cab, long bed
Just bought the optional cruise control kit I plan(ed) to do myself--imagine my surprise when I opened the box and saw a heck of a lot more than I thought...!
Anyway, being realistic, am I biting off more than I can chew or is it simply following the steps? (I can the very basic stuff--oil change, alternator, even install a stereo).
The directions refer to the manual--anyway/anyone have one online I can take a gander at? I may need it for pulling the steering column apart.
Would appreciate any tips, ideas, suggestions...
Much obliged.

cruise control kit
I went to the dealer, they gave me a 10% discount when I bought the truck, so it was the same price (minus shipping and handling) as this site:

THis is an OEM. Looks real nice (if I can get it installed!!) Oh, and this was the cheapest site for this product that I found. Most go for well over 370.
There are quite a few after market versions--some use electric some use vacuum. I have looked at some at www.pepboys.com and www.jegs.com.
Good Luck.

Weather has been so poor here, have not been able to get at it--garage is too small.
There are instructions, but as to "easy to follow" or "good", perusing them left a lot to be desired. LOL
I really just need to get at it and see what happens. Then get back on here and beg and plead for help. ha ha
Thanks
