Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / April 2006After Market Cruise Control
I recently bought a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500, Cummins diesel and a 6 speed stick. I propose to use the truck to pull an 11,000 lb 5th wheel rig. Truck was not equipped with a cruise control, and I would like to add an after market unit. Any experiences or suggestions?

Check out the forums, the answer might already be there. You can do a search to see. Take care and Happy Campin...

Suggestion, let the dealer install the OEM unit. It will integrate with the computer better. Diesel cruise control is not a mechanical link like gas engines. It's an electrical hook up feeding the injectors and the fuel pump. SignatureFrank Tabor >>I recently bought a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500, Cummins diesel and a 6 speed >>stick.

Even though our '02 Sierra was a gasser, I had an aftermarket mechanical cruise control installed, what a pain in the butt. Every time I hit the brake the gas pedal slammed back. First time it happened it was a surprise. Hugh >>>I recently bought a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500, Cummins diesel and a 6 speed >>>stick. I propose to use the truck to pull an 11,000 lb 5th wheel rig.

The unit worked okay but was a general pain in the butt! Ed MacNeil, Ancient Aviator North Hampton, NH, USA >>I recently bought a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500, Cummins diesel and a 6 speed >>stick.

Wish I could do that. I was told by the dealer that there is no Mopar kit available to do that and only an after market device would be available. Ed MacNeil, Ancient Aviator North Hampton, NH, USA |
