Default Finished T56 installation ... no cruise in 5th or 6th

Just finished installing my SSR t56 in my truck . Everything went well , except I don't have cruise in 5th or 6th gears. It works in 3rd and 4th. WTF ! Could it be in the programing ? My speedo seems to be correct . Any input is appreciated.

thats odd, maybe has to do with the load it has on the motor and your ETC

Um... Silly thought but, what are the RPMs? maybe it thinks they are too low to engage the Auto Pilot?

It's possible, I was probably going 65 mph, and 1400 rpms..
Which brings up another question . What is a good rear gear for my combo.? a 4:11 or a 4:30 if one is available ?

you might think im crazy but math dont lie... i run 4.88s i have 29.5" tall tires. i cruise at 70mph at 1800 rpms
i shift out of 3rd at 7k i max 4th gear out at 130 {7500 redline}

first is just as normal as anything else

I bet with the RPMs that low something is telling the Auto Pilot its a no go...

As for gears my 4.56's and my 4L80e spin 2,500rpms at 65mph so, yeah 4.56 or 4.88's like Quick is running should work just great for you with that 6spd IMHO... I bet you will have some wicked pull with that type of gearing too!!!!

My cruise has never worked either. I haven't taken the time to fix it though.

I have 4.30's with my 275/55-20's that are 31.5" tall and i'm about to go to 4.88's.
