If you've been following the cruise updates lately, I have some more general information. Today I called JCW about their cruise controls. If you look in the catalog there are two models that do not have stalk mounted control pods. The long rectangular pod is made by Equus and is the model I have been installing. The more squarish pod is made by Audiovox (some other list members have installed this one and maybe they could post their review of it) and when I spoke with a tech svc. rep. she said that the tech. svc. manager recommended the Audiovox unit. No rational mentioned. Maybe just cause it costs a bit more. On the cruise control page, there are two vacuum canisters listed. JCW was not able to give me details about them (no. of ports, w/ or w/o a check valve, etc.) _____________________ Equus system install update: Earlier I posted that the system was working to a degree: it would set, hold speed and disengage on hitting the brakes. But, tap up and tap down were not working. I check continuity on the wire bundle I made and it was ok. Today, I checked continuity on the connectors as well and one of the connections was not closed. Fiddled with the pins and now tap up works: tap it 10 times and the van speeds up 5 or so mph. Not sure if tap down is working as well. Stay tuned for the continuing story........
