cruise control switch

[themb2g]

What have you guys used for a cruise control switch? I just got a new column for a 72 and don't want to wire one of the old switches into it. Anyone done anything special for their cruise control switches?
Also does anyone know the part number for the brake light switch needed to wire the cruise control together?

Are you wanting something that goes on the column like stock or something else? Sounds like you don't want it on the column, but if you do, I have some that will work on your 72 column. You can also buy a Dakota Digital or other aftermarket lever, but be aware that they are wired the opposite of GM switches, so you'll have to use relays to reverse the switches. The only aftermarket one that you do not need the relays with is the Dakota Digital dash mounted one. The ones I have are GM so it's as easy as hooking up 4 wires to make them work. I have two different styles, one is smooth and one is ribbed and looks similar to the original turn signal lever on a 67-72. I can get you pics if you're interested.

The brake switch you need is 25524848. That is an ACDelco number, but there are aftermarket replacements also

Thanks for the help. I'd like to keep it off the column if possible but I was seeing what options are out there. Send me some pictures of one of the dash mounts. Thanks!

Just curious why you wouldn't want it on the directional lever just like factory? LS1nova and his switches are the best bang for the buck and look correct.

Just asking it is your vehicle, do what makes you happy.

I am just seeing what other options are out there. I am trying to keep the truck looking as stock as possible even though its an LS switch. either way the CC controls are going to change that so I am seeing what options are available and what everyone else has done.

I'd be interested in this too. I have an aftermarket column and don't want to change the levers on it for the old plastic type.

I've got a switch panel on the dash running my lights and wipers, I'd like to add my CC there. I understand it can be done with a couple of switches (one toggle and one momentary), but I'm not completely competent on actually doing it.

I used lsnova switch the ribbed one matches my tilt lever perfectly. Even comes with tech support just in case can't beat the price just for that. Oh yeah forgot to say his levers are first class.

Me too, and I agree, LS1Nova is always willing to assist.

[themb2g]

LS1 and Clyde, do you guys have pictures of the GM style?

[Clyde65]

I found it!

Page 3, post# 54 shows exactly what I purchased from LS1Nova. He was very helpful in getting the parts and pointing me in the right direction.

Here's the pics. $45 shipped in the lower 48. Comes with the pigtail and wires are labled. The first two pics are the of the smooth one, the 3rd pic is the ribbed one in my truck, but isn't painted nice, the 4th one is the back side of the ribbed one, and the last pic is of how the writing is put back on them.

What all is involved in wiring up one of those switches from LS1Nova?
I'd love to have cruise for road trips, my setup is DBW if that makes any difference.
The harness has cruise, decel and accel already broken out.

[Daaaanz67]

Real simple the wires come labeled to match yours, one wire will tie into the white wire that feeds your tail light. Just make sure your brake light switch is adjusted properly that's where I had my problem.

Looks good. Send me your pay pal info. Tx

If your harness already has wires labeled for cruise it's simple. One wire will be hooked to an ignition 12v source and the other three will go to your wires coming out of your harness (they actually go to the TAC module, but you don't need to know that if they're labeled ) They will be on/off, set/coast and resume/accel.

[Jon01]

Sweet. Do you have any ribbed units? If so, shoot me your PP addy and I'll get you paid up.

That's gonna be NICE!

[Jon01]

Got my switch in the mail today. Eric makes some quality stuff. I'd highly recommend anybody thinking about going with his unit do it.
I can't wait to get this wired in, cruise is going to be very nice on roadtrips!

Thanks for the kind words. If you have any questions when hooking it up or have any problems getting everything to work just let me know.
