Mine doesn't work at all. The only cruise I have is looking down every once in a while and adjusting my right foot. I wish it would work. I might have to do some interstate hauling soon and it would sure be nice to have it! Have you noticed a difference since adding the Edge chip?

Check your vacuum line. mine had a crack in it down underneath the controller. Tough to get at, but all I had to do was cut it off and re-install, there was enough slack in the tubing

Did you have any cruise control problems before adding the Edge? I don't know much about programmers, but it may have something to do with your cruise not working right.

I have heard a few guys say they had to replace the hard line to the cruise, vacuum servo under the drivers's side battery. Some have seen battery acid runoff eat the hose, and some say they brake it when working on the truck. (That's me...lol)


Hand vacuum pump with a gauge makes diagnosing MUCH easier...

Good luck with your ride.
