Re: [DML] Re: Cruise Control

["J. Ben Boatright" <tahoe98@xxxx>]

I just recently installed a Dakota Digital Cruise Control
System. Unfortunately I dont' have the pictures developed yet. 
It was very easy to install & it looks really good (or I think
so). The nice thing about this kit is that DD gives you the
option of what type of controller to use. I chose the "Dash
Mount" switch, and mounted it next to the dash dimmer. Since
the color is gray, it fits very well with the car (my car is a
gray car). 

One point that I would mention was the routing of the throttle
cable and the possible problems surrounding mounting it. I had
to run my cable around the "front" of the engine (really the
very back of the car). By doing this, I was able to get a
straight in position on the cruise control cable. 

I have driven the car for about two weeks, checking the throttle
on a regular basis to be sure that it was not coming out of the
groove & causing a potential hazzard. I am happy to report that
all is well with it. 

As soon as I get some pictures available I will post them on my
website. If you have any other questions, please let me know
(tahoe98@xxxx).
