Cruise Controls
OK, technically this probably isn't a TV issue but it has been bugging me so I thought I'd post and see what responses I get.
I used to own a couple of different Chev TV's. Both were D/A's and now I am on my second Dodge. What is driving me nuts is the "resume" behavior of the cruise control.
In the Chev's, if I had my cruise set for 100 kph and had to stop, upon resuming - even from a very low speed like 30 kph - the cruise would accelerate my truck back up to speed at a very rational, realistic acceleration rate. In my Dodge, not so much. Hit resume at a speed that is even a few kph or mph below the set speed and it goes into drag race mode. RPM jumps to 3000 and the truck takes off like there is no tomorrow. It is ridiculous.
What experience do others have? Am I dreaming about how my Chev used to behave? Marty, you have basically the same truck I used to have. How does your cruise behave if you hit resume when you are 10 or more mph below the set speed? Is this behavior configurable on the Chevs? What about Fords?
Thanks
