Do you see any messages on the DIC like Active Handling or Traction Control on? Activation of either will cause the cruise to stop. You could also check the clutch (if you have one) and brake pedal switchs for proper operation and adjustment.

Some EBTCM have a defective microprocessor and the EBTCM applies the brakes in a modulated application when the car is driving straight down the road. My 02 ZO6 EBTCM had that issue along with erroring out at 42 MPH.

Do you feel any braking just before the cruise trips off?

Also check your brake peddle switches to make sure that there not causing the Cruise to trip off.

i agree with bill check the clutch pedal and brake pedal switches i had a similar problem and it was a simple adjustment on the clutch pedal switch.
