cruise control servo

My curise control servo is bad on my 93 5.0 with auto and 2WD. The dealer says that this part is no longer available. Anyone know which cars or trucks, years and options I should look for to be a donor? I don't know if an interchange manual covers electrical parts.

It looks like a 93 - 96 F-series would work if the plugs are the same.

The one in my 92 parts truck is same as my 94 . I took it out today .So any 90's truck should work . Van looks about same but I never paid attention to them.

The 92-shop manual shows a Vacuum controlled system and 93-96 is electrical controlled system. Are you sure your parts truck is a 92?

Should be the one

I would think the 93-96 years would work with 5.0 and auto trans. Any idea what engine and trans were in the truck that this one came out of?

First one I have replaced

This will be the first time I replaced it in 227,000. It works except for the disengauge from the brake light switch. It won't disengauge the cruise until you put enough pedal to build brake pressure. The trouble shooting steps say to replace the servo if there is a good signal at the pin going to the servo.

Not according to the steps

The brake pressure switch is a back up if the brake light switch fails. There is a good signal from the brake light switch to the pin going into the servo. The manual says replace the servo at this point.

I am also looking for a replacement servo, and the dealer wants $380.00, any ideas about differnces across motors? Any suspicions that a unit from a 92-96 F150 w/ auto would not work for my 94 F250 5.8 w/ auto.

the servo just drives the throttle plate w/ the signal from the control unit in a big feedback loop, right?



thanks,

Derrick

A few things to look for

I would think that the same trans, engine and either 2WD or 4WD would determine the servo.

The one in my 5.8 is the same # as 5.0 . So it must be a Fseries thing. I just yanked it off the parts truck

just an update:

Made a run to the Pick and pull, found a servo in an 00 excursion, looked the same, same connector ect. Works like a charm so far.

Iv got a 93 4.9 that the cruise just stopped working on. I have a feeling the brake light switch never worked on mine because i could hit the brakes lightly and it wouldnt kill the cruise control. Anyways, where should i start, Switchs in the steering wheel or at the servo, or both. Or the VSS. I probubly should start my own thread. But ill try here first.

Thanks.
