Rostra Cruise Control makes these kits for Dakota Digital. They're about $100 less per kit when you buy it through them. The dipswitch configuration explanation would be helpful to those who have never installed these kits. I've installed a few of them now, so I'm pretty familiar with the dipswitches. I actually installed one of these kits in a 2013 Honda F6B motorcycle! It worked great. There are also wires for the indicator lights. One for cruise power on and one for cruise set. There are a bunch of different LEDS available out there that can be used for these indicator lights. If you're using an actual Dakota Digital gauge cluster, those indicator lights are included. Pretty cool! Great video.

Thanks for the video. Just what I needed as I’m in the process of adding the same DD unit to my ‘66 Thunderbird.

I hate when you feel like you have something together and realize you have to take it back apart for one thing. Well, am thinking the pain will be well worth it!

Thanks, nice overview and detail on small things that are often passed over good info. . PS. just out of curiosity were there many pages to the instructions. Thank you

I don't believe so! But I do remember them being very clear instructions!

I hate watching the videos with that truck, I looked for a set of chrome for a 77 with the gold, only pieces, most not good, none to make up a full set. After my factory Cruise Master started having issues, and no good regulators after trying about 10, I took the worst one, gutted it, fit all the stuff from a late 80's truck with the optical pickup, built a switch from old parts, and I had a more modern setup that works like new. Love my rounded body style 77's

I had to replace a couple missing pieces on mine with the black inserts and painted the gold by hand! I did a video on it way back!

Do you happen to know if I will be able to get my steering wheel straight after removing it and reinstalling? That would be a huge bonus to this.

@OldeCarrGuy 18 күн бұрын

If you’re using a stock steering wheel, you can place a mark on the wheel and column with a sharpie. This will help guide you in the right direction.

I have a vision problem,soo, I need to have this installed by a mechanic ...about how many hours would you say it took you from start to finish?..I have a 1966 Chevelle with American Autowiring... AND what wag your total cost? THANKS!!

@OldeCarrGuy 6 ай бұрын

I would say from start to finish a competent feller should be able to do this in a couple to 3 hours, maybe a bit more if they're more detailed about the wiring. If I was doing this in my shop, I charge $75/hour, so let's say $225 for 3 hours to be fair. The current price on the kit is around $400 so you might be into it for $600-700 depending on your tax.

The activation switch, do you have a link to that? I’m doing cruise control on my ‘80 k20 and that would be perfect.

Sweet, now your problem will be trying not to fall asleep while you're steering. LOL Cruise control will be much more gooder for a long ride so your foot doesn't go numb. Now all you need is an Ai computer to steer for you.😲
