Again, the OP's post is a little unclear. I take it that the truck has less than 50 miles total and when he tried to set the cruise, the engine died. Cruise may or may not have anything to do with it. Could be something simple, or not. Hopefully he will report the findings.

To the OP: I hope the issue is simple and you find satisfaction with your new Ford truck.

I hope your joking??? There are no "bore oil channels" Maybe you typoed and meant oil control rings???

I'm happy to look into this, TomBar. Could you please verify the model year of your truck? Please fill me in with the details, including any updates since it has been at the dealer.

I'll be on the lookout for a reply! Have a good day.

Yep, never happened. On a side note, I set my bore oil channels to max flow and I am happy to report that I have 125,000 trouble free miles, many of those on cruise control.

Oil channels makes sure that the flow is adequate for the blinker fluid reservoir.
