know anything about aftermarket cruise control?

I just picked up a 1998 dakota. I live in a small town and commute to a city often. I would like to install cruise. Is there a good aftermarket company selling a kit? Do you have any experience, good or bad? what should I look for? what should I avoid? I am not scared of wiring so this would seem to be an easy thing to do. throttle actuator, speed sensor, break light cut off, switches ....

 

I have installed a few. It was years ago though. What I always found most troubling was where to put the switches. Some came with a levar and some came with just a controll block. I seemed to like the blocks better but the darn wires came out the bottom instead of the back of it. So the wireing cable would show and just bug me. I wanted a clean look..
The other issue I would encounter was the magnets on the drive shaft sometimes came off for what ever reasons.

 

do you remember the brand by any chance?

 

Rostra is one the main aftermarket cruise control mfgs / distributors. I installed one of their kits in an older C-class motorhome we had. A search on thier website shows the 250-1223 kit and a 250-3421 or 250-3742 control stick for a 1998 Dodge Dakota.

No names come to mind.. It was a while back..

 

thank you very kindly sir!

 

You're welcome. They are a little pricey, but the one we used was really nice and worked great.

 

Because you shared the link now I have an idea for when I have my seats redone.. I will be adding heaters
