Starting, i have a 2002 3500 4x4 six speed 165,000 miles with no performance mods. When ever i use the cruise control on the freeway for a period of time then come to a stop the idle has elevated to 900-1100. Then sometimes when i go to take off from a stop let the clutch out the truck stalls, not driver error but like the engine is not excepting the load... . something with the computer or pump. This happenes a majority of the time, also when this is happening the ABS light will come on and go off just fast enough to catch my eye. But never stays on. when i shut the truck down and let it sit for a minute and restart it... idle is back to normal until i use the cruise again. I tried to see if it is when the cruise is on or when it is set, only seems it does this when the cruise is set. No CEL or codes, except twice with dead pedal. Using cruise for about an hour exited freeway canceled cruise went to hit acc pedal started to accel. then went dead with CEL. Pulled over hit the pedal afew times nothing. Shut truck off waited about a minute, started again hit pedal twice nothing... third hit she was alive again and ran fine with CEL and codes 1693 and 121 low voltage apps. After a few days of driveing the CEL goes off. I checked the voltage for the apps and was a little off . 493, readjusted and set to . 515. Still get the high idle after cruise is used. Anyone have an idea? Could it be a speed sensor or abs sensor.

Also this is a different problem i think. It feels like the truck surges at mid RPM range, had cummins and dodge drive it and they said they could not fell anything. Me driveing it everyday i know that its doing it... very lightly but it is. No codes. Should i try to reflash ECM?
 
I would look at replacing the APPS. Your cruise is controlled bythe ECM so the voltage signal may be squapity(hi tech term for bad). Search for one of our members fix for it. He sells a replacement pot for a lot less than you can get a replacement unit for.
