    Cruze control..

    Well were really starting to do some k's now in the old q, and although I can manage long trips with the good old foot its nice to not have to worry about the boys in blue.

    So was there a factory cruze setup up for the gq? Was it any good?

    Or what after market setup have you gone?.

    I'm hoping for DIY, but only coz I got other things to buy..

    Hiya Cobber,

    Dunno about factory but I fitted an AP series (AP-60 I think) after market jobbie to my first GQ and it worked faultlessly. Was still going strong when I sold her about 140,000 K's later.
    Only took a couple of hours to fit and was less than $200 back then in 2007.

    Worked fine towing as well, which is handy on the big flats over here in WA

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Looks good. $250 with the clutch switch. Did you hook up to the accelerator peddle or straight to the fuel pump?

    Don't do that! Severely compromising your braking ability.

    If you're happy and you know it tap a post!

    I have got the AP60 on my GQ TD42. It is awesome, makes life so much easier on long trips and I can drive longer before I get tired.

    I mounted the actuator just below the battery and ran the cable in a u shape back onto the injector pump. Can get some pics if you need mate.

    Like I said, works fantastic and I love it!

    Exactly what I wanted to hear, direct to the pump..
    Seems the best bang for buck to and found one with clutch disengagement included so yes, some pics would be tops dom.
