    It usually takes a few miles before my cruise control will engage and with that my engine brake is functional. If the cruise control is not working then my engine brake will also not function. Any idea as to what the problem might be, thanks.

    I had the same thing with an 05' I got me a little bungie cord, and I mean a very light I got mine in the Automotive Dept at Wally World attach it under the dash or around the steering being sure you are not contacting any of the actual steering shaft, then with the other hook place it on or around the peddle. this takes any slack out of the peddle switch or the clutch switch. I hope this helps.
