1995-2002 Dodge Ram Complete Rostra Cruise Control Kit

works great

I always wanted to have cruise control on my 2000 dodge van, but never bothered. When the pandemic hit, I used the down time to put in a new engine, repaint and rebuild the body, steering, brakes and frame (the van has a lot of sentimental value to me). Over 2020, the van was rebuilt to better than new condition, and I decided to add cruise control. After much research and reading of reviews, I chose the rostra universal cruise control kit. It took about 3 weeks to get it up here to Canada, and when it got here, the installation process couldn't have been easier. With the exception of some fabrication to make a bracket to mount the switch arm to my steering column (that was custom work and no aftermarket part would have done that for me), the installation was a snap and only took about three hours. The bulk of the work was done in the wiring, specifically accessing and finding the brake light switch and figuring out two wires in the main PCM harness that needed to be spliced into (and all of that was vehicle specific, and not a fault in the kit). Once everything was hooked up, it worked right out of the gate exactly as it should have. The response was smooth and predictable and the controller kept about +/- 3 km/h at every speed I tried it at. Amazing! I couldn't be happier with the design and functionality of the unit. Time will tell as to longevity, but with clear cautions on how not to mount it, and very good design and attention to detail, along with a 3yr warranty, I am looking forward to years of easy operation My suggestions are as follows: a) Read the installation, wiring and technical details through a few times and watch the youtube videos about the installation BEFORE you start. b) Make sure you have access to a really good electrical manual for your vehiclle (I was lucky enough to have a dealer service manual) c) Clean the area thoroughly around the installation area in the drivers area and under the hood. You will be running a lot of wires and the control cable, and ziptying off a lot of harnesses, connectors, etc. so it gets messy and dirty if you are not careful d) Label each wire BEFORE you start to make it easier to make all the connections correctly the first time. There are a lot of connections to make, and you don't want to get confused, specifically when you are tying into the PCM harness. Thanks Sean
