Aftermarket Cruise Control

[rossgn]

Anyone add aftermarket CC to your Ebody? Planning a 1200 round trip. Did same trip 4 years ago and vowed to never again do it without cruise contol. Local stereo shop says they can do it, but would prefer to do it myself.

Following along, I'd like to add cruise also

I added it to a 75 Power wagon years ago

This seem to be an expensive route.

Pardon Our Interruption...

I would have to say there is a least expensive way. Using used OEM from any year.

I don't know if this any better.

From about mid 70's to 80's Chrysler? Those components would be able to be adapted. If it's a standard it would need a clutch switch do disengage control when depressed.

Is there anyone who rebuilds the factory cruise control unit or reproduces the diaphragm for the factory cruise control unit.

 

[Chryco Psycho]

I used a C body unit on the Power Wagon

No one that I know. A friend needs one but none repopped. There was a guy on B Bodies that made them but no more.

Cruise control by mopar was a dealer installed option as well as a factory option. It very simple to bolt in a factory cruise control even on a six pak. Use the 1970 and later version. there are some nuances to installing one, but nothing requires rocket science or endless threads

I was just writing how easy aftermarket ones are to install (I used to be an installer of stereo/CC/alarms) for about 100-150 bucks, then I realized this isn’t the 80’s anymore and I was floored at today’s prices.

Their still fairly easy to install, we used the magnets on the driveshaft (to monitor speed) models but there are many choices now

Ditto. We used to use Fridgette and AAR Systems cruise controls. They had a transducer that went in between the speedo cable and trans, so we didn't have to do the magnet thing. Also did factory appearing, in dash a/c systems too. Myhow the time flys by....
