    Does the message go away if you put your foot under the clutch pedal and pull? I agree with Jaguar though.

    [​IMG]Do these newer trucks still have these Berger Buttons behind the clutch/break pedal bars? If so, that is what these guys are talking about...some times they come loose and just need tightened.

    This is a 1 year old truck, at a cost of $120K (or more) and problems are starting already. Sorry, give me my old '72 (below) with a metal rod from the pedal to the pump, and our "cruise control" was the throttle lock.:biggrin_2559:

    At least it wasn't your snow brush wedged between the seat and pedal.

    the newer trucks generally require a brake pedal one time before cruise activates.
