Hi,I recently found a cruise control stalk, like the part that connects to the steering column for sale. I am wondering if I need something under the hood to make cruise control possible or if I can just plug in the stalk and make it work. Thanks!
you need the cruise control system to plug the control into. It consists of an electromechanical system that adjusts the throttle position based on signals from a control box. The control box receives input from the switch and a speed sensor. EDIT: SkyPilot is not correct - you just have the switch.
maximum possibly undesirable oil pump or blocked pickup tube you will could desire to drop the oil pan your self or have somebody do it for you in looking out for useful. From my adventure with Dodges i've got by no ability seen a pickup blocked from valve stem seals besides the shown fact that it somewhat is achievable. i could seem on the timing chain regardless of the indisputable fact that simply by fact if it somewhat is the production facility unique that they had a nylon coating that would smash off and plug the oil pickup.
you only have the switch for it ,you still need the actuator and the cables that connect to it plus the wiring harness for it and the vacuum control unit your still missing a lot of pieces to have cruise control,plus the pedal release switch,its harder than most people think to add this to a car that never came with it,good luck.
The part you have is simply the controller for a system. You need to have the components that make it work to have an operable cruise control. There are parts that go on the engine and driveline that control the throttle and sense RPM's. Nigel is incorrect. The part you have is the one that makes adjustments, sets the speed and turns the system on and off.
You have only the interior part of the cruise control. The wiring at the stalk you have connects to the wiring for the cruise unit and the brake light switch at the brake pedal, you have an under hood servo that is operated by vacuum from a vacuum source (usually the brake booster), and two speedometer cables, one from the transmission to the under hood servo and the other from the under hood servo to the speedometer in the dash. So you need, an under hood servo, two speedometer cables for a cruise control servo, wiring from the signal stalk to the firewall, wiring from the firewall to the servo and a cruise control brake light switch. It can be done as I have done three for my own cars and two for others, a total of five.
