2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 2001 six speed CTD ram cruise control question

[Prostock]

How hard would it be to add factory cruise to a 6 speed 2001 that didn't come with it?

Anyone????

I don't have a direct answer to your question. However, there are two versions of speed control model year 2001. At some time during the model year, the speed control was changed from the servo type used model year 2000 and earlier to an electronic speed control. My guess would be that the change occurred at the same time the rear drums were dropped and the tailgate trim was eliminated (the 2001. 5 Ram). Or possibly the change happened when the assembly line ran out of parts for the servo speed controls. Date of manufacture may play a part in answering your question.

I have cruise control and love it, use it all the time.



I bet it would be a pain to add. My speed control buttons are in the steering wheel. Are the blanks where the buttons would go on your steering wheel?



I haven't actually seen a truck without cruise control from the factory.



Go Luck,
