.....in a car that has more than one forward gear, RPM is less than
useless....
Not really, at least in our case.
Just when is someone going to 'set' a cruise? In third gear, fourth?
Noooo, it will be set at highway speed, in fifth gear. And then it
does become, in essence, a one-(gear) car.
And once in fifth gear, an engine RPM signal will work just fine
until you shift. And doesn't any clutch pedal use release the cruise,
anyway?
Or heck, get the Ford OEM piece I referenced earlier in the day that
generates a signal from the RPM of the speedo cable.
