We just got back from a 1500 mile road-trip and the truck did just fine. Mainly running I-40 with the cruise set on 70 most of the time, it turned in 19 mpg (18 with a head-wind).
Speaking of cruise control, prior to the trip, it was not working. After having it diagnosed, it turned out the Servo Motor was bad. From Ford, they are $500 + or -. I did some snooping around on EBay and found some NOS units for a lot less. I decided on the least expensive one and used PayPal for insurance. When it arrived, it was a Motorcraft item that looked new. It took a whole ten minutes to install, and worked great the whole way. I'm very picky when it comes to buying on EBay, but it worked out good this time.
Thanks again for all the input and support.
