2012 Sahara 6 spd. When the cruise is engaged, any clutch movement cancels the cruise.
I drive a semi for a living and when the cruise is set , I can shift all day and if I don't go below 34mph the cruise will stay engaged.
I would like to be able to do this on the JK also because even with the new engine if you hit the slightest upgrade, you have to drop to 5th.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks

 

Thanks. I realize the resume button is there but it is annoying to have to keep using it.

 

I think to try to circumvent the system would be more of a problem than it's worth. I don't use cruise all that much in my 10 Rubi because most of the time my area is too congested. But, if I had your situation on hills, etc. I would either leave it in 5th, use resume or not use it until the area flattened out. I'm surprised to an extent that they even put it in manuals for passenger vehicles. Probably why if you sneeze it cancels. Most on the road aren't professional drivers as you know.

 

I'm sure that is something within the computer that would have to be changed.

I'm so glad I'm at the end of the drive. Retired once, about 2 years to go till it's permanent.

 

is your big truck an automatic ? the second i touch the clutch or brake in mine it cancels the cruise .

 

No auto. 07 Mack with a 10 spd.

 

When you step on the clutch to shift with cruise on, the engine would over rev at the suddenly unloaded throttle setting it was at trying to go up the hill.

 

Do you have larger tires? I've yet to hit a highway hill that my Jeep couldn't make it up in 6th with the cruise on.

 

Stock Sahara w/factory 18 in. I'll have to check with one of the mechanics at work and find out
how the system in the truck works.
