Lifetime Warranties

Many of us have come to realize that it is often wise to replace the Cruise Control Amplifier and Actuator at the same time. Certain failure modes in one can damage the other. Consequently we are now offering warranties which extend as long as individuals own their vehicle if the Cruise Control Amplifier and Actuator are replaced at the same time with our remanufactured units!

To activate this warranty simply send us copies of 1) the shop order/bill showing installation of the units and which control number is written in black marker on each unit, 2) the current vehicle registration and 3) the enclosed Lifetime Warranty forms with each item filled out.

To keep the warranties valid, certain periodic maintenance must be performed; most notably, the throttle linkage be properly lubricated. Also the units may not be opened or unusually damaged. These warranties apply only to the vehicle into which they were originally installed. If the vehicle is sold, normal warranties go with the vehicle and are still in effect. The lifetime warranties do not extend to the new owner.

The cruise control actuator will normally wear with use. This warranty does not cover normal actuator wear. It covers failure due to something that we did during the rebuild process. The actuator should last approximately 50,000 miles of cruise control system use.

Lifetime warranties are $75.00 for the amplifier and $75.00 for the actuator if the units are replaced at the same time and bought at the time of sale. These warranties are available for amplifier only or actuator only at $90.00 for either unit or each unit at any future date while the original warranty is in effect.

The lifetime warranty simply extends the period of the one or two year warranty. If a unit is replaced under warranty, either normal or lifetime, the warranty ends unless the time is within the original warranty period of one year for mechanical and two years for purely electronic units. In other words, there is one warranty replacement or repair unless another warranty is purchased.

All warranties carry the following condition: if the unit(s) under warranty fail(s), we must be able to inspect and evaluate both amplifier and actuator together. They are highly interactive and the condition of one can effect the other. We are not responsibile for a defective actuator, which has not been replaced, which damages a rebuilt amplifier. This is explained more thoroughly in the Electronic Component Warranty section.

We must receive the amp and actuator for warranty replacement evaluation. We do not simply ship fresh units before analysis of the units under warranty.
