Cruise Control on 80 series

The power brake unit uses a vacuum feed, usually supplied by a pump on the back of the alternator, if you tap into this usually with a Tee piece you would need to be carefull to use clamps as if it came undone you could be left with next to no brakes.

Some would say not to do this because of the safety side of things.

I have and it works fine.

I came of the power brake unit for mine. very simple to do just cut and add the T connection which is supplied, the only thing I found was the hose they supplied was not long enough so I had to go and buy a seperate hose for the vacum,, which was not big deal. also My 80 had a speed sensor so I just simply tapped into the wire near the speed sensor relay on the transmission, if your speedo has no speed sensor then you will need to buy the tail shaft magnets which dont come with the after market kit.

Be warned set aside a full day to do it, they are not that easy to set up.

If you have any problems the manufactoring company have a very good phone line help and are very helpful, They certainly helped me setting up the cruise control a lot easier then what the instructions said.

I have an AP60 on my 80 series diesel. The vacuum feed comes from the brake booster line using the supplied T-piece. No problems for over 4 years so far.

From the experiences of various friends and family, the AUSCRUISE is superior to the AP60, as it is easier to set and reset, and doesn't drop out so readily on hills. If my AP60 ever packs it in, I'll be replacing it with an Auscruise unit.
