Hi
I recently purchased a 1998 3500 w/5.9 Cummins 24 V. The truck came from the factory with automatic trans., but past owner converted it to manual transmission. I am hoping to get the cruise control working. The Dodge service manual tells me that with the manual transmission, the system is completely different than with an automatic transmission. Any suggestions as where to start?

With a manual transmission, there has to be a disconnect switch at the clutch pedal to disengage cruise when clutch pedal is depressed. I know this because mine was accidentally disconnected during clutch work. Took me a while to figure out why cruise stopped working even though dash light came on.
