Thread: 87 Ram 50 Engine Swap

Tweet

There are probably a couple of cross county trips in the Ram 50s future so I picked up a universal cruise control off Amazon. It’s either a copy of or a re-boxed Audiovox CCS-100 which I’ve used before and had fairly good luck with.

I kind of like these units because you can run them solely off the tach signal (no magnets on the drive shaft or VSS wire) and they don’t require a separate clutch switch. It also has the style of control switch I wanted for the truck. The down side is that the instruction while good for doing the hookup and wiring leave a lot to be desired as far as setting control switches for specific vehicles. Fortunately as I’ve used these units in the past, the trial and error was pretty minimal for me. I got it figured out this morning and the unit works well.

The under hood install went easily enough,







The under dash wiring for the switch keeps getting harder for me every year though
