Manually Adjustable Cruise/Idle

[Powder Extreme]

I have installed a box on my pickup that hooks up to the factory cruise control. I can use it for "constant throttle cruise" and for adjustable idle. The current problem is the cruise inputs are too sensitive making the rpm's hard to modulate. I think I can build a circuit board that will duplicate the signal of the PCM allowing you "tap up" and "tap down" on two different buttons to make approx. 100 rpm differences. Once I get this all built, it will plug directly into the factory cruise, and the factory PCM plug into the box, run 1 wire to 12v+, mount the box to the dash and it's done. With the switch on you have manual control, with it off the cruise works like normal.
I'm curious to know if enough people would be interested that I should build several once I get it all worked out.

I think you sent me an email the other day. I can't get my outbound email to work so... .

I am game to help or be a potential customer. (or both)

you might call gorden at pratical solutions about this. i talked to him at some length about this and he said it would be very difficult to get over 1700rpm's with a plug in play type box.

I've already got one on my pickup, I can run 110mph with it if I want to. #ad

I have been working on this very thing, a constant throttle cruise/idle control. I want to incorporate a shut off feature so when you tap the brake pedal, it returns the engine to idle. Unfortunately, I lack the electronics expertise to make it all happen.

Powder, can you send me an email describing how you did it? I am very interested in making one of these devices for my truck. #ad
Thanks!
