[QUOTE="JamesK, post: 1302627, member: 1858"] I originally installed the McCruise kit, including the CIU (cable interface unit) they provide with the kit. To be honest I never liked how it affected the throttle feel, and regretted buying into their sales pitch about it's "safety factor" over the tried and true linked chain method. This was over 240,000 miles ago, so when the vacuum servo finally became too high maintenance and given the fact that McCruise wanted something like $250+ for a replacement servo, I decided to go ahead and install the standard Audiovox servo, which also gave me the opportunity to remove the CIU and setup the linked chain on throttle tongue. I also added a vacuum reservoir at the same time, which made the CC work 1000% better than it ever did without it, despite the repeated claims by McCruise folks that their system does NOT require an additional/separate vacuum reservoir. Needless to say I'm very happy with the hybrid system I'm now running, being the McCruise CC ECU and control panel (and wiring loom) and the AVCC100 servo with the linked chain and a vacuum reservoir.
