When the system is on cruise control @ 60-75 mph and encounters resistance, such as climbing a steady slope, the transmission shifts, causing very high engine rpms. The rpms hold at 5 to 6. 5 thousand for an extended amount of time before the transmission shifts back to fourth gear, returning the rpms to a safe level. This high rpm level must do damage to engine at times exceeding the red line. *ak |
