I'm Awesome
Hey guys, I recently bought a nice '97 W/T 1500. It has a 4.3 and auto transmission. I'd like to add factory cruise control and a remote start.
First the cruise - I'm getting the parts from a Pick n Pull junkyard that is 100 miles each way so I'd like to know exactly what I need. There is a connector on the firewall that I'm pretty sure connects to the cruise motor (sorry, don't know the technical name of it) so that part should be easy. I'll get the cruise motor, cable, and bracket on the throttle body. I know I'll need the turn signal stalk. What I'm not sure of is will the cruise turn signal stalk plug into existing wiring/connectors/module under the dash? Is the brake switch already there and wired or do I need to pull a brake switch from the donor truck?
Remote start - can it be as basic as just starting the truck? I have manual locks, so no keyless entry is needed. I have no need for an alarm. I just want to start the truck a few minutes before leaving work so my windows are thawed and motor is warm enough to drive. What would be a good kit? Some type of feedback to indicate the truck is running would be cool, but not necessary. I'd like to avoid a remote fob the size of a phone, so a smallish remote would be a bonus too.
