Cruise Control Servo - mounted!

Another under hood item to scratch off of the list (it's still a long list...).

When I finish this truck, I plan for it to become my cruising vehicle. CO is a big state and there are lots of things here that I haven't seen. I decided that cruise control would greatly enhance my driving experience while I am driving in the flat half of the state.

I started by installing the throttle cable & stop cable and then the business end of the cable from the cruise control servo. It is a Dakota Digital CRS-2000. Unfortunately there is no way to shorten the CC cable, so my mounting options were limited.

I made a bracket to organize the cables and welded it to the valve cover. That set the path that my CC cable would have to take. Here's a view of the cables at the governor end:

I then attached the servo to the driver's side fender well:

Now that the servo is installed, I can start looking at the coolant recovery and windshield washer reservoirs.
