    One of the silliest things. I wonder why a SAFETY-oriented company incentivizes driving in the rain without windshield wipers...
     
    Friday Thanks this.

    Your windshield wipers turn off when it rains????

    The last tractor I had before I left was programmed to deactivate the cruise when the wipers were activated. Are they still doing that?
    I found it bizarre that I was told to feather the throttle for hours during rain so you're not going into the "not allowed" speed territory.

    All the tractors do that. Why would you have your cruise on when it's raining?

    They must've done away with that. Surprisingly enough. I was driving my new truck for about 2 months before I figured out that the wipers aren't disabled with cruise anymore.
     
    Friday and milehunter43 Thank this.

    I ended up going to Rain-X. Couldn't deal with the unnecessary stress of "omg can't go more than 60, better back off the throttle!"

    If they didn't have the silly overspeed thing, I would've been okay with complying with their no-cruise policy.

    Either they made a logical decision, or somebody forgot to set the parameters of your truck correctly :D:p

    I know they were working on a fix so when you had them on delay or just the fluid it wouldn't disable the cruise.

    Policy aside, WHY would you use your cruise when it's raining?
