universal Cruise Control kits.

[Pa PITT]

So who makes the best cruise control kit.
& What's the price of these kits. Back when I had my parts store I sold one made by ATP. Transmission part company. It was only about $65.00 . They worked great. Other than you had to stick some little magnets onto the drive shaft .. If you played in the weeds & Grass . But the rest of it worked well.
... But I got out of the Parts business in 1995 so 65 maybe 200.00 now .
Just wondering where to get one .. Summit I suppose ..But figured I'd ask you guys before I started dabbling into it..
& How hard are they to install today.

Pa,
Dakota Digital makes a pretty good one. I’ve used one for years j
They have really good tech support.

Rosta makes the kits most everyone sells. It is basically a 94-04 Gm unit. Simple to install, it needs a VSS from a computer, a sensor or inline in a mechanical speedo cable. They work well, and are easy to install.

That's funny Yeller .. My Running Buddy just hate it when I tell him something is a GM spin off. to use on his Bronco.
His girl ask me to tell them something they could give him for his Bronco.
I'll probably get to help install it.
& I'd like to install one on my Dodge hay truck . It's kind of an old classic That I'm fixing slowly.

I replaced a Rostra on a Land Cruiser with a newer Rostra a few years ago. It wasn't horrible to install, and worked OK.

The '88 F150 XLT donor that I used for Frank's '75 eB already had the older vacuum cruise system, so it was easy to keep it & make it work. But it just works OK. It wouldn't be worth transplanting by itself.

But the best one I've installed was the '93-04 Ford servo I put on my '83 Bronco.

Any Ford system requires buttons that have the Ford resistance, but that's easy to do even without a Ford cruise steering wheel/column. So is the early Ford VSS, which fits in the eB transfer case.

... Wow most of that was over my head Steve. But I expect just one of those Rosta units will work.
Thanks & If anyone else has any thoughts I'm still open .

I’ve wired and installed a Gm unit, it wires up similar to the Rosta but the Rosta comes with discructions so less figuring, and comes with multiple ways of connecting to what you have.
