Ok,So what I have been doing in my spare time is adding options to my truck as I find them at the junkyard. My fried hooks me up with the parts so it's mainly just costing me my labor. After I get my Power Steering in I think I will have everything except for the cruise. I went yesterday and there were 3 with cruise there so I pulled a system out of one of them. Now from what I see, this is not going to be to difficult a mod but I may be overlooking something. Has anyone ever swapped over a factory cruise system into their truck? I know a LOT of people don't like cruise but I use it all the time if I am in a car so equipped. That and I think it would be cool to have just for the hell of it. I have heard from a lot of people that the systems rarely work well if at all. Is this true? Is there a common part that fails? If so, I see trucks with cruise at the yard all the time so I could easily find a good replacement. Here is what I robbed from the truck yesterday
Under hood Actuator/servo w/cable and vaccum hose and 4 wires leading into the underdash
Cruise button with plug and wires leading into loom behind dash
Wiper/signal/cruise lever assembly with wire harness leading to behind dash
Gold color metal module box mounted high in drivers kickpanel and wire harness leading into relay box panel and into main loom.
Am I forgetting anything else? I traced the wires as far back as I could time permitting. I can always go rob an entire harness out of another cruise equipped truck if need be but what else is needed. I know you are probably thinking WTF, find something else to waste all that time on LOL. Well, I just wanna make it happen. I have been slowly adding options to my truck since I got it and I think this will be the final one left that I have not done. So far I have added these other factory options. Some I'm sure may seem like a waste of time but I was motivated by boredom I guess.

So to make a long post short (too late now LOL) Has anyone ever swapped over a factory cruise system to their truck?
Also, if you have cruise, does it work? How well?
Thanks
