Anyone using a setup like that. I have a line on the steering components from an 03. I don't know anything about them and want to make sure I have everything that's needed to make it work if I choose to use it.

I have done two of them they are the cats ass are you going to use a ebay controller or try to make one yourself I did the ebay one its simple basically plug and play. Make sure the ecm on the motor is metal supposedly the plastic ecm wont work all you really need is basically the top half of the steering column and the controller from ebay

Not sure what all is with it. I picked up a trailer today and the guy that was there offered what he had for a 100 bucks.. I told him I'd find out what all I needed and if it could be done.

Went to the Pull and Steal on Friday. They had 4 Vue's. It took me about 30 minutes to get. Pretty easy. As soon as we got home we ordered the controller off E-Bay. Looks like it gonna be easy to mount and make work

Has anyone had an issue with the electric steering turning easier to the right than the left? I have contacted Bruno, the guy that makes the controller. Waiting on him to reply. Your input is welcome.

FYI if anyone needs it. Inside the ECU is 3 potentiometers. The one marked VR1 is the one that needs to be adjusted either left or right depending on which way your steering is softer.
