so i drive alot in my v6, and i was wondering how hard would it be to get cruise control into my base v6 stang? and also..would i be able to take everything aside from the steering wheel from a 1998 windstar? thanks, Erich

I dont know about that van as a donar but you can set up cc on your car.

There is a booster under the drivers side fender that needs to be taken off of a donar car for yours, a second cable, the wheel with buttons, and the wires in the middle.

That is about all I know for it, I am trying to do the same for my wifes 96'. My 95' came with cc so I was able to backtrack from the tb to the wheel what mine has and hers doesnt. I havnt bought anything yet for the conversion except the wheel and buttons but the existing wiring in the steering colum supports CC so that wont have to be upgraded. If I remember correctly the fuse is a shared fuse and already in play.

Start collecting the items you need and when you think you have it all together then start putting it together and see what happens. I personally have not heard of anyone doing this but a Ford Dealer insisted that it could be done.

Why even bother? It`s not worth the hassle. (JMO) I have it on my stang and never used it. My truck doesn`t have it and i`m glad.

i dont think you caught the part where i said "i drive alot". i drive at least 100 miles a day for my dad. cruise control is one of the most useful options on a car. you should be fortunate that you have it. if you really dont use it, would you mind me using your car as the donor?

No, you can`t have mine. I`ve had it on just about all of my cars and likeevery time I would set the cruise control, some *** would cut in front of me so I would have to slow down. Then reset it, then the same thing a little down thehighway. Or traffic would just start to slow down. Or whatever. So I said the hell with it, i`m never using it again. I hate it............ Ok, i`m done.

yeah i guessyou have a point. but it's very useful for keeping yourself from speedning too much.. i got pulled over alot.. usually about 87 in 65. i just happen to get moving faster. cuz im used to driving with cruise. but w/e. maybe ill give it a try.thanks for the replies. Erich.
