I need to install a clockspring. I'm finding all kinds of used clocksprings but they have Cruise where mine does not have cruise.

The ones I can find w/out cruise are twice the money. Will a clockspring w/cruise work in my situation. I'm assuming I would install and not hook up the wires and it would work but not sure.

Thanks in advance.

The clock spring was a recall on some 2001 Rams. Check with your local dealer, they may have to do this repair for you for free.

I would still go to the dealer and try, if they say no, ask which clock spring you need. It may not matter, it may, I am not sure. Sorry man :(
