Default cruise control problems!

Hi guys! I'm having trouble w/ my cruise on my '01 CTD. It engages then it slowly keeps decelerating. Any Ideas?? Thanks in advance. -Brian

My first guess would be the vacuum is bleeding off somewhere. You should have 2 in-line check valves. You can download the 2001 manual in PDF format, somewhere on this site.

Good luck with your ride.

I have problems with mine too, except instead of actually engaging, the light comes on but nothing sticks. Not a big deal really, but it sucks to drive long distances without it. No clue how to fix it either.

Alot of time on the 2nd gen trucks the vacuum lines were right underneath the battery trays and if your battery would leak the acid would rot through the lines and cause a leak. I would check there as well.

I went to locomotive school in Conway, PA. We stayed at the Sewickly (sp). We drove around Moon, Coraopolis, Alliquippa, etc. I thought it was a nice area around Pitt. All they told us was stay away from the "Hill", or Hill district. Said it was a bad, bad area.


Adios.
