One more thing- I used velcro to mount the control switches in an ergonomically suitable location. The manual says to find a flat surface, with visibility, etc., and mount the switch there. On a 2004 Ranger dash, there is no such place; i.e., no place that is flat and visible and accessible. The velcro enables mounting on a no-so-flat surface, and also enables you to move it around a bit after you have first positioned it. Also, I avoided drilling the dash by folding the wires and routing them through the velcro to the little space between the dash and the steering shaft housing. The switches are clearly visible, easily reachable, repositionable to some extent, without drilling and despite the curvy surface.
Best Regards,

A final post on this project:
I have now had a chance to drive the truck at freeway speed, up and down some decent hills, and it seems to work just fine. It holds +/- about 1 mph on what I would consider normal hill country terain, in 5th gear. Resume also works fine. I don't know what my initial problem was with resume- maybe just trying to use it in too much traffic, switching it on and off too fast, at too low a speed, with too little familiarity with proper use of the thing. Anyhow, if it keeps working as it did this week, I'll be one happy customer.
Best Regards,
Bruce2
