cruise control , or are you pointing at the tube ?
Thanks, guys! I was too lazy (Old and Fat, and sweaty, actually) to climb around that hot compartment and trace it out. This forum sure brings out the "Screw it, I'll just post it" in me, at times.
I WAS tracing the vacuum lines to try and find out why my heater wasn't working and the Mrs. asked me what it was. I don't like to lie to (unless I HAVE to.)
Oh, BTW, the heater temp. control cable was stuck and the previous owners forced it and appear to have either broken the plastic housing in the module, or the little blue locking tab that goes into the module to hold the cable sheath.
I'll try and lube the cable up and then try and figure out a way to re-attach it to the module so I can control the cold/hot mixture of the heater. Even though it was 102 today, cold weather is coming and I hate being cold more than being hot. Such is life.
One more thing...
A guy walks into a bar and orders two hurricanes and a corona. The bartender says: "That'll be 20.20"

My cruise control never worked since I've owned the truck.
What did work, was cutting the cable with a cutoff wheel and stealing the plastic parts off the throttle cable after the turbo melted it hundreds of miles from home. The cruise control cable was thicker and worked great as an emergency backup throttle cable!
On a friends idi his cable snapped from rust so I told him to tie the throttle at a good half or two thirds power and limp it home, works great on a manual transmission
Are there any good guides on diagnosing the cruise control?

I'm not sure on this one. Now another approach is the one that the owner of the shop I used to work at used. We always said that he used the governor as a cruise control.
