By any chance did you notice if your CC pods illuminate?

 

no they dont. im not sure if they are wired up or not. i know some never lit up

 

wow you suck, i wish i could have the stock setup

 

I started a thread regarding this. My 2000's CC pods didn't light up either, it was hit or miss on the Gen 4's apparently. There is a wire that you bridge and they'll light up.. lemme see if I can find it.

Edit- Here it is:

Looks good dude. I saw your other thread. You jerks and your "pre-wiring"!!! Just kidding

 

which other thread?

 

you should have taken some pictures. do will i need a new master cylinder

 

you do not need a master clyinder, i can take some pics of youd like next time my truck is in the garage. i jumpered the BPP wiring and put a 2 amp fuse in to be safe, thats what the cruise recall harness has in it

 

i really dug this up but i was wondering if i could install cruise control on my 97?

 

do you have the pigtail in your engine bay? should be a ten wire connector

 

check for the 10 wire connector, if you have that you are good to go, its by the washer reservoir

 

justin in your research did you find out if the servo had to be for your engine or could you just use one thats similar. ie: my truck is a 4.0 OHV would one from a sohc work?

 

yes, the servo on my truck is from a 4.0 OHV, i think its a little more touchy when you press accel one time than a 3.0 servo would be but its just fine with me

 

good deal, i was worried something electrical wouldnt work, like the wiring etc would fit but something internal woudlnt work.

 

so based on that if i get one from a 5L it will be a bit more touchy than if i got one from a 4L. did you use a servo cable from a 4L too?

 

no i put a 3.0 servo cable on it

 

Was your truck pre-wired for cruise? I did not see wiring in your list of parts, but I still can't find a solid answer. I have a 1999 XLT extended cab 3.0 automatic and trying to figure out exactly what parts I'll need.
Thanks.

 

No...
