Default Loose brake pedal?

The roads down here are pretty shitty, interstates included, and when I hit a pretty decent bump on cruise control the brake pedal shakes side to side and kills cruise. Is there any way to tighten it down? I looked and couldn't really see anything.

Mine shakes too but doesnt cut cruise off. I always thought that was shitty.Why would there be that much slack in the brake pedal.

No, still shakes. Think it's the fact I have a billet brake pedal on it that's heavier than the stock rubber pad is what makes the shake worse and kills cruise. I may try fooling with it around thanksgiving

Just get a spring to hook into it some how and hook it to your dash some where, Not a strong one, something long. I have one on mine since I have hand controls and it adds weight. I can get a pic later if you like.

Mine does the same thing. Being a regular cab I can't squeeze in under there to see if anything is loose or not.

Well in that case let's make an agreement: Whoever's brake pedal falls off first has to fix it with pics so the rest of us can fix ours
