Thanks everyone for the response. This unit doesn’t match anything in the Bentley and there was no sign of any vacuum System in the van it came from. Being made in Texas, probably not OEM. I’ll continue to look for Specific Cruise Systems info and see if I can run it down. In no hurry. Thanks to all
