1 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 09/07/2014

Driving at highway speed the cruise control would not disengage via the brake or by hitting off on the steering wheel. If I put the clutch in the engine was idling at 2300 rpms. The throttle was stuck on and I could not slow down. . . I turned the engine off and turning it back on again the problem was not reset. My clutch and breaks got a little burnt up making it home that night. . . As the problem happened when I was in the middle of nowhere. One I made it home I turned the engine off and manually jiggled the throttle linkages on the side of the injection pump. Restarted the vehicle and the the problem was reset until cruise control was used again. . . . This was very dangerous to have the throttle sticking at such high speed. . . So I looked into safety recalls #b15 thinking great my truck is covered. . . Only to find out that recall was already performed. Also the fuel heater recall was performed and it so happens in the last 4 moth hhave to do the furlel heater delete because the wiring and plastic piece was all burnt up. Looks like these trucks are having a second round of the same or similar safety recall issues.
