Cruise control sensor

If I can get the cruise control working my truck will be 100%, I've been told its probably the sensor, is it in front of the master cylinder? Is it a dealer item or is it available at say autozone or napa? Hopefully no big deal to replace, I've got a lot of good info here and after getting everything turnkey I plan on swapping out the downpipe and installing a 4" exhaust and some guages then looking into getting into a chip maybe a Banks 6 gun or the Wildemen (sp?) the truck has all the power I need right now but I think it would be fun really smoke the guys in our club that tow up the mountain to the lake with gassers especially the hemi clan. Going to start on the exhaust, guages and chip in a few months and would like some input as to the right path the first time. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the sensor is dealer only. For $25 you get a new sensor with a new pig tail that includes a fusible link in it. I just got mine last fall. Cruise control works like a dream now.

Even if it's available aftermarket, I suggest getting the sensor from the dealer. It is the subject of a recall, causes fires.

Welcome to the dark side of diesel ownership. Once you start modding it's hard to stop.

I agree with you Cuda, but the stealer told me there was no recall on my model truck. Just a heads up. That's why it cost me 25 bucks.

Opp's, didn't mean it would be covered under a recall, just that aftermarket may not be the upgraded part.
