Rostra 250-9636 Cruise Control Kit For Full Size Ford Transit

This Cruise control system works wonderfully, no perceptible difference from a stock system that was on my previous vehicle. Not sure what others are talking about with the aggressive downshifting on hills. I think they're having problems that are inherent to cruise control. Use it on a freeway and you'll be totally fine. Use it on slower-speed backroads and you might have a problem; but really, you deserve it. Cruise control doesn't perform well at low speeds and drastic slope changes, and isn't meant to.Worth it. So worth it.

Put in a ford transit. I would probably like it more if it was steering wheel mounted like the factory CC. Maybe that’s too involved.I put it in what seems like the same spot most do but because I have a swivel installed under the seat, it sits maybe 3/4” higher and now I have to pull the seat much closer than I normally would and my knee sometimes bumps the lever and turns off CC.I also wish CC worked while in manual shift mode because that’s how I drive if there are any hills. I have the 3.7 and I hate letting the van handle the downshifts and acceleration while using CC during those circumstances.

Works like an oem cruise control and very easy to install! Love it.

Search on YouTube, some great videos and this installation is actually quite simple and quick. But the instructions that came with the product are absolute trash

Installation on this was pretty straight forward. Installed this in Feb of this year and finally was able to travel for 2 weeks out west. Driving across the plains wasn't too bad, it stayed at the set speed and didn't fluctuate too much. However, once you get to even the slightest incline, the cruise will shift down 2 to 3 gears. Very hard on the transmission. When getting into the mountains it's even worst. I had to shut it off for most of our trip since we spent most of our time in the mountains or even in the desert where there are little hills to climb. The programming on the computer module I think is really bad. There is no reason that it should shift the transmission down 3 gears and almost max out on rpm's. When not using the cruise I was able to keep the transmission at low rpm's while maintaining the speed I wanted. It is nice having cruise control but this module only really works when it's very flat and a little bit of wind at your back. If your going against the wind, forget about it. Not worth the $300 in my opinion. We used this for our campervan, will never buy another van without factory cruise.

It works, but required advanced mechanical / electrical skills to professionally install and over-revs engine upon slightest incline causing pre-mature engine wear and excess fuel consumption.

This review is for an incorrect stalk being packaged in this kit. The cruise control stalk is supposed to be mounted on the left side of the steering column, mine came with a stalk that was for the right side. I contacted Rostra Precision Controls and they are supposed to send the correct stalk in the mail.Update: New part was shipped out very quickly. I finished the installation last night and couldn't be happier. Great company to deal with!

My application is a Ford Transit van. The control was easy to install and works well up to around 70 mph. At today's typical Interstate speeds of 75-80 mph, the control causes transmission kick down too soon and too hard on even moderate grades, but that's partly the fault of the vehicle's software. Other reviews also mention this, and the solution is to switch the transmission to manual shifting for the grades, which also disables the cruise control.
