did some searching, came up with not much. Wondering about cruise control, does anyone know of a good brand or place that sells them, repco quoted me $230 for one kit and $1200

for the other. It will be going into my sierra, and is there any other type of cruise control from another car that can be grafted in? vit?

cheers

have installed a couple in a few different cars..

and have seen people do it as well..

they can be a night mare to set up properly. the ones i have seen use a pickup off the tailshaft so the cruise know what speeds to do..

but thats just my experience with them.

i wouldnt bother with it. use a stick on the accelerater pedal if you want cruise

Command is a good brand, go for one with an electric actuator not a vaccum one

and if they have an option for a pad with present speeds go for that, easier than trying to set it at a speed

you might get away with not using the magnets on the driveshaft for teh speed pulse if you set up the diy VSS of jnr zooks too

yeah command is the cheaper option, the other one has a pad. I can't justify spending that much on something im not really going to die if i don't do.

Cruise control? Foot flat = almost the speed limit all the time. Take a brick with you.

Have you seen the idle up screws on diesel trucks?

I have seen them on sierra's, but on the gearstick so it holds the idle when crawling.

Of course they are not stoppable if you hit the brake, but its a start.

Early landys had the best, inside the cab, a manual hand throttle that could be locked into place at any rev setting.
