Question Vacumm line

I need to know exactly where the vacumm line is in the engine compartment on a 1999 Ranger 2WD, 4 cyl., 2.5L. I'm trying to install a cruise control and I can't seem to locate it.

What kind of cruise control kit did you buy? Is it factory? Or an aftermarket kit of some type?

It's an after market. Audiovox CSS-100. Instructions are lousy, no diagrams. If you are not near pro or better you have to read everything three times to make sure the instructions say what they say.

Yeah...that's what happens when a Japanese translator writes an English instruction manual. Do you have a shop manual for your truck? Haynes, Chilton, Ford manual, etc.?

No and there isn't a library in Houston that has one on the shelf. I guess I'm going to have to breakdown and go to the bookstore or parts store and get one. I don't think the translation is the problem...I think the "lack" of translation is the problem. These people write instructiions believing everyone is a mechanic.

Vacuum. To locate a vacuum source, follow the big black hose from the brake booster back to the engine. Where it attaches, is commonly called a vacuum tree. If there are capped unused nipples, attach the speed control there.
