Everything about this build is incredible! Hope to see it around Oregon in person at some point.

Out of curiosity, and I recall you're using the '13 harness where mine is using the '08 harness, but did you integrate cruise control?

That interior is sweet though.

Thanks all! I appreciate the support!

b. Rock... The CM2350B (Chrysler version of the Cummins ECM) is CANbus based I/O for A/C, cruise control and security. I bypassed the ECM controls for A/C and security. The cruise can be "tricked" into working with an aftermarket CAN interface but I haven't gone down that path yet. If I were to do it over again, I think I'd try to use the CM2350A ECM, which is the industrial version...and fully programmable via EFILive. That ECM has hard-wired I/O for everything. Much easier to deal with an on/off switch vs a CAN interface.

Gotcha. I saw that a few companies made add on cruise controls for Ram trucks, wasn't sure exactly how they worked. Would be fugly to graft onto a Ford steering wheel for sure.

Ditto to that, holy smokes this is by far THE MOST ULTIMATE E-SERIES out there. Makes those other guys look like middle school auto shop.

I’m amused by the fact that you would ever consider the van “done”. If it’s possible, I’m happy for you, what a great project.
