Well I did a search and didn't find anything so if everyone knows about this forgive me.

Anyway we installed cruise control in a ST trim 2500 with the CTD and a 6 speed tranny for less than $100.00. Wiring harness was already in wheel. Just needed switches and to tell the computer to engage the cruise functions. According to our Parts Manager who did the search the Manual just uses parts that are already in place only the switches need to be added.

I drove it and everything works great. Remember this is only a cure or option for ST manual owners, won't be the same for Auto guys.

I worked with www.mopar4less.com.

RIGHT HAND SWITCH #56049378AB-RETAIL $18.79
LEFT HAND SWITCH #56049379AB-RETAIL $19.91

Good Luck

 

This is certainly worthy of a "tip of the hat". Good stuff! Lotta guys will be happy to read your post.

I was bracing myself for "a piece of wood".

 

I did the same on my 2003. There's not a lot of interest as most of these guys have SLT's Which already have cruise. But it is a big deal to those of us who didn't. Good Job!!

 

Same here. I was almost cringing as I opened the thread.

 

Thats been like that on D.C.trucks and most cars since 1997 or 98.It works on autos also.Added the extras on many a bare v6 truck from 1998 on.

 

Excellent work!
If it's that easy to do why doesn't Dodge make the CC a standard feature?

Who knows!

 

My 99 Dakota came without a cruise control. I went to the dealer and they had a kit for just over $100 that I could install myself. It was really easy except that I did a bit of sweating taking out the airbag on the steering wheel to install the switches. That was the hardest part but not a problem.
