Check the parking brake
Is it auto, or manual?

On some newer vehicles the CC wont work if any of the rear lights are not working. Check the brake & tail lights.

its automatic, I thought at first it might be a brake switch or issue but when you step on the brake the light goes out. My cc light on dash stays on all the time like the computer thinks its in coast, so if it was a brake issue the light would not stay on.
It does not stay on all the time just when I put it on everything works except the truck just does not take over speed

You could try doing a self test to see if the Cruise will give you a code and that may help to narrow your possibilities.

The procedure is listed in post #36 of this thread.

In 2001, the throttle was still operated by a cable, right?

Are the physical components of the cruise control functioning? Is the cable disconnected?
