Cruise Control

[thouse]

My cruise was very irratic, I went to the dealer for a reflash (dumb move). Now I only get 10 mpg when towing, and the cruise is still the same. I would like to know if anyone is using a high idler with a auto to help with this, or if anyone has found a cure for this problem? I obviously do not need a high idler in FL, but will do what ever it takes to get my cruise back.

Sorry to hear about the trouble with the reflash,it worked 100% for me.

Did they do the right one?

Mine too. When I set the cruise to 65 I MEAN 65! Not 62 or 63, or 67-68. I really don't want to go and reflash the computer. I like the power I have and I am averaging about 16. 5mpg in the hills here. If anyone has any suggestions... . ?

Well, after a lot of reading and several phone calls, I answered my own question. It is a conflict with the Banks system. They have known about it , but don't say anything unless confronted. I would not recommend installing a Banks kit if you have cruise, until they come up with a fix.

Mine acts similar, and I have a PE Comp installed, whether it's turned on or not. I discovered it last night on a long flat stretch of highway near Galveston...



On that flat stretch, the cruise would accelerate 1-2 mph, then decelerate, then accelerate again repeatedly. Almost made me "seasick. "
