Okay so I am looking to add aftermarket cruise control to my suby conversion. I want to add it because I have a tendency on long drive to let my speed creep up. Really want to keep from getting any tickets.
I wasn't totally sure how cruise was integrated. I thought it might work through the stock ECU. I have the Stinger ECU from Outfront. So I gave them a call to ask. While the guy didn't outright laugh at me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . He did say I've never had anyone ask me that before. He then proceeded to tell me the ECU wouldn't have anything to do with that. You would need some type of speed sensor. Then whatever Cruise control unit you bought would integrate with that. Or something along those lines. So I think on this a bit. I have aftermarket Speedhut gauges. They are GPS based for the speed. I don't believe there is a speed sensor for them. Huh would I have to add a speed sensor just to run cruise? I figured I'll call Speedhut to see if there is something they do or recommend to add cruise with their gauges. Gal says you just send me your speedometer gauge. They have added a cruise control output recently as an option. Well cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) . Going to call back tomorrow to see what the turn around is. Might just be overnighting it monday to them. Really depends on that turn around. Be great to have for my trip to Vegas & then Route 66 later this month. Anyone here added cruise control aftermarket before. Is there a unit hearing how mine will run from my speed hut gauge you would recommend? |

I get my gauge back from speed hut with the Cruise output tomorrow I think. Pretty cheap as they charged $52 to add that output to the gauge. $20 of which was to put a rush on it. I haven't pulled the trigger on an actual cruise unit yet. Is getting close to time I leave for Route 66. So if I find a good unit at a local auto parts place. I may still do it before I leave.
Being the idiot I am (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . I'm redoing my front suspension. We'll see if I get it done in time. If not I will roll with what I have on there. Just updating to 3.5" caliper spacing struts for my 944 turbo calipers. I currently have the earlier 911 struts with 3" spacing. The newer 911 struts are off getting powder coated. Those should be ready wednesday. New bearings coming from GPR also should be here then. Already have the new turbo tie rods as well as the new lower ball joints. So theoretically I should have it all together thursday night. On my car friday night or saturday morning. Then get the brakes all bled & drive test it all. I just wouldn't have much drive time on them before the long trek to Las Vegas. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . |
