There has been a reoccurring thread about AudioVox Cruise Controls. Some time ago, I posted about the cruise control I use (Ultracruise II) which was distinguished by the fact that it did not use vacuum assist. For years I fought with vacuum control diaphragms as they readily (6 months to a year) fail in the engine compartment heat. They were generally inadequate on gas engine systems (particularly the WBX with its pathetically low vacuum levels) with inadequate draw reserve approaching hills. Etc., Etc. Well, the Ultracruise II is an electrical servo driven unit. No vacuum or vacuum reserve canister. Unfortunately, when others tried to purchase the Ultimate Cruise Control, the company had gone belly-up! Minutes ago, while searching for a pulse frequency adapter to sync speed sensors with dissimilar speedometers, I found the missing cruise controls!!! They reside at www.dakotadigital.com under accessories. $250 per pop. I paid around $150 to $200 many years ago. For what its worth. Its functioned flawlessly for me for years. frank Grunthaner |
