[QUOTE="NTXFJR, post: 1289053, member: 88839"] Ok, so I'm on my way to becoming a full time feejer farkle installer. I just got done installing a Rostra cruise control, what a full bore pain that was, and was trying it out today. It is surging terribly when set at 50 to 60mph by around 5 mph. I tried setting it at 70 mph and yeehaw! Hang on! The throttle went full bore with no regulation at all. That was fun! ....not! My hook ups are per Queensland Ken's install: [URL="https://www.forum.fjr13.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5525"]https://www.forum.fjr13.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5525[/URL] . Ken did a fantastic job at detailing and itemizing everything on his install imo. His was on a Gen II or maybe Gen III I believe, mine is on a Gen I I found several great posts in here and in other forums too, but there seems to a lot of variations on what people have done compared to what others have done. I have the gray wire hooked up to vss wht/yel wire and dk. blue hooked up to tach orange wire. I see some have used a signal divider on their vss connection while some apparently haven't. Some have grounded their dk. blue wire, some hooked it to the tach signal. My gut feeling is that my Rostra is not processing the Gen I vss signal well in this install, hence the run away full throttle when I tried setting it at 70 mph vs merely poor speed regulation at 50 or 60 mph. I'm wondering if my next step needs to be a signal divider. Any suggestions? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
