I've been looking around here, and other forums, for a few weeks now, and I'm having a hard time finding where to get an aftermarket cruise control. So, just short of buying the book from thedieselpage.com, does anyone know what I need to do in order to get my cruise control working after switching to a mechanical pump, whether using factory parts or aftermarket?
To better explain what my truck is:
1994 K3500, has all the cruise control equipment that I can tell, except the 6.5L engine... (has a cummins in its place now
: which is a mechanical pump)
I can find all kinds of people stating that it is possible to get an aftermarket solution when switching the 6.5L from electric to mechanical, but I cannot find an aftermarket solution. Or, would it be easier some other way? Am I being an idiot and don't even need an aftermarket thing? Maybe a vacuum line is missing or something? Does it run off of vacuum? Is there anything I should check that would possibly make it work again that may be broken? Sorry for being such a noob, just don't know much about the cruise control on this truck... I would rather use factory parts if I could, and I can't imagine that it would be hard to get working since the truck came with cruise to begin with, but the engine swap gave the truck a mechanical pump instead.
Here are some of the examples that I've found, which are not super helpful:
