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?
