I guess I'd inspect them at 80K and see how they tested out. But I might wait until 100K? Hard to say.
I'm looking forward to getting my cruise control working again. I guess your cruise control isn't vacuum-powered, which mine is. Also interesting.

It might be. The vaccum issues are hard to figure. Sometimes the door locking works, other times not. Sometimes the engine will turn off right away, other times not. The cruise control mostly works well, I should amend that. About once a half hour it will suddenly cut out completely. As if you just took your foot off the pedal. I've gotten in the habit of being ready to use the foot immediately, is quicker than resetting the CC, but it will reset and work again just fine until the next drop off. I can only guess it suddenly loses vacuum in those episodes.
I haven't yet mentioned that another issue is my ignition key/st. wheel lock going south. One day I had a bit of trouble with the key, didn't think to immediatly pull the cylinder, that night I suffered the dreaded paperweight/key won't turn sydrome. I was in WA state, in a parking lot, with my mother. I called her an UBER, and started looking hard at what to do. Decided to tow, AAA asked what's up, and then said their policy is to first send a locksmith. Dude did his best, no dummy, had one of those vibrator thingies. Could not get it to turn. None of it sounded good, me 750 miles from my shop. It occured to me that Home Depot was still open, I figured that to buy a batt powered Makita angle grinder to destroy the st. wheel lock would be cheaper than paying a locksmith $500 (WAG) to pull it out. And I'd still have the tool.
Saints be praised, I pulled it off. Will install new stuff soon. The punchline is, for the brief spell I've driven it since, I hooked my mighty vac up to the igntion shut down line. Oh man, that engine shuts off right now when I squeeze the handle. I've GOT to improve vacuum.
