Running in and Cruise Control

[Tom_Y2K4]

Now everybody has their own opinions on running in but one thing that seems to stay the same is not using Cruise control...

At what mileage should cruise be safe as not to cause engine trouble? Ive done 500 now and i wana try the easy life!

Something to do with pistons sticking and keeping it at the same revs?

they are still doing 50 rotates per second at cruising speed when they can stick ???

The idea of running in is to using different revs of the engine so sticking at 1 speed which will keep the revs the same is a waste of time and could result in the above..

Hence why cruise control si advised against.

So when is it "safe" to use cruise?

sorry but once you will be running the car in on highway on 500 (first) miles trip yes that can be problem, but if you use it just for mew miles - same like when you are travelling and looking to not go over 50/80 miles limit you are still sticked to the same RPM... or isnt ?

it's a well known fact that the engine is run in at the factory. Just drive the dam thing and don't worry.....it's all covered by warenty

also if you was stuck in traffic it would be idling at same rpm so it dont matter imo
