old school cruise conrtol ?

Postby jethro » Wed Jun 01, 2016 10:14 pm

I am thinking ---- My 2004 ford HAD cruise control on it---- but it also had a total electric gas pedal---
So i am thinking to try to hook a OEM ford cruise control to the cummins and make it work electricaly might be
in the "too hard" pile.

si i am remembering back in the late 1970's adding a cruise control to a E-300 van we had, and several other cars
back before it was widely standard equipment from the factory. It was a very simple rig having a vaccuum actuator,
magnetic speed sensor which ran off the driveshaft, and a control head which just strapped onto the turn signal stalk.
Any reason that wouldnt work just as good now as it did then ? (if i can find one now......)

Got PLECTY of vaccuum from the cummins's pump ......

I know nothing about what the ford 6.0 Liter actuator even looked like if it was electric, vaccuum or whatever......
or much less how it interacted with the computer and all that .....

Would yall do the old school (easy) route ?

Did a little googleing and found a reference on this from T.D.R. ---- here is the link----

It may be possible and doable with a gasser servo (cable operated)
