As long as the van runs the same cruise control switch assembly and same BCM, you should just be able to add some wires to the BCM connectors for the switch. It will need a re-flash, though.
This could not be more true...


Roger still remembers the day when I cam in saying I was going to keep my truck now mostly stock and all I was going to to was cai, exhaust and intake....

Thank Jake for finally getting it to run right, not me!! Unfortunetely I am no longer running the coil-packs up on the firewall, was having too many issues with burned wires so they are back on the valve covers. I also traded my intake away for a TBSS one. Probably not as good on the top end but the low-end is a little better IMO and since it's composite it's not soaking up heat like the Aluminum Pro-Flo was. I'll probably update my build thread soon. Truck runs real good now!

Nahh, I'm gonna stay out of the engine and drivetrain as much as possible. All I really want to do is get this thing up todate with regards to electrical stuff. So Crusie control would be awesome, as would a keyless alarm and such.

So...I have a diesel...meaning no Throttle body. How does a cruise control work on a Diesel? It's gotta be just injector control no? I don't think the stuff on my can be used/swapped.
I did decide to take those super comfy captain's chairs out of the RCSB and throw them inside the Van though!! The front seats in the van aren't as nice as the ones in my RCSB so looks like I'll be shopping for some Recarro seats for the RCSB soon!

Thought about it but I'm gonna stay away from the flat, it's too much maintenance. What if I themed it out...
