Surging cruise control
My 01 Ex 4x4 with the v10 has a cruise control that surges when operated. It's not violent and a little hard to notice, but I figure it can't help the gas mileage. The speedo stays dead on, no surging there at all.
Any thoughts?

Mine seems to do this a bit, but only when I first push the button. And it only 'roars' up to the speed its set to go to. Nothing more.
What say ye, graveman?
Curious to hear from others if this is 'normal' for an Ex......or not.

I have the same truck as you and I have also experienced this problem. I tried researching it here on the forum but didn't have much luck. I would be very interested if anyone has a solution.

For me it happens about once a year when fully loaded for a camping trip and heading up a grade in 3rd or 2nd gear. I assume it's not a good thing for the drive train and turn off the cruise control. It stops after shutting down the cc.

Just a "me too". It's not noticable from within the truck; except all vehicles around me seem erratic. Whip out the gps though, and you get to watch a constant fluxuation of vehicle velocity. The range seems to stay within +/- 2 mph on flat ground. And, as stated earlier, the speedo stays pegged. If there's a fix I'd like to hear of it.
