installing a new cruise control on a 2001 ram truck
Hi Everyone. I am a newbie and would like to thank you all for all your helpful suggestions. I have a 2001 ram truck v-6 and I would like to add a cruise control to it. Anyone has any idea as to how to go about it. Where to buy the necessary parts and is it a DIY type job. Thanks again

well first off welcome to the site, as far as under the hood type cruise control stff, im sure you could go to the junkyard, and pick up the cruise control servo, which will be under the battery tray. as far as everythign else, i dont know, maybe someone else can help you a bit more.
i though about this as well, though creating my own custom switches.

Welcome to the forum.
I imagine it can be done. It looks very complex to me. You have to tap into the PCM. You have to, maybe, change the brake switch to accept the CC circuit.
Do your research carefully before starting the project. Find a Haynes manual and look at the PCM schematic. It shows how the circuit runs and how the brake switch is wired. The hardware is easy. The wiring is another matter.
Attached are some diagrams that shows what you have to do for a factory type install.

About 7 actually, I did not start drinking till about 4am, mainly because I got tired of seeing the 12 pack in my fridge when ever I thought food would appear in there.
