Did ist - Cruise Control works flawlessly!!

[Ozymandias]

Like many of us I had some serious problems with my cruise control, bucking downhill, erratic Railpressure, Throttle Pedal was going 1" up and down every second. Because of this I never used it for a longer period. I was close to buy an aftermarket Cruise to solve this, but I gave it a last try.

So I read around in all Forums and found once a fairly simple solution.

It's so easy, I opened the vacuum hard plastic line to the servo and glued the long plastic straw from a WD40 Spray inside it - yes really - a 2 Cent Solution.

It works just perfect like it have should from Factory and never did, with the restricted vacuum line it stops all the stupid behavior and works flawlessly.Oo.

I'm really happy now and saved many Dollars.

Now I can tell to everyone - give this a Try if you are not happy with your cruise, it can be done from every DYr with basic skills.

We did that to our vacuum cruise controls on 24V's also. Power increases really brought on the surging! SNOKING

What causes this anyway? Does the stock hose collapse? Not sure I understand why putting another smaller hose inside fixes anything...?

To much vacuum/to quickly! The small hole acts like a restrictor valve similar to what people do with fuel pressure gauges. Chris
