what's a "CC"?

 

[MrQ]

"Cruise Control" I guess?

does the horn work? it could be a clock spring malfunction. If these trucks have clock springs.

check oil life on message centre, mine did that after i bought it. all was good til i hit cruise control,and that was at about 35mph, 60kph then bang limp home mode and stall after pulling over. changed oil and filter, reset oil life no dramas since

 

[walto]

Yes it is Cruise controll ,And Ex starts right up and runs fine(NO limp mode)

Be advised, it is best not to start 2 threads for the same issue.

Sorry about double post. I understand about the break switch, but would it shut off the motor, wouldn't it just shut off the cruise?

Don't know about that. Maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in.
