Surging in overdrive ?
I am experiencing about 3 to 4 mile per-hour change in speed ( up and down ) going up a grade with the cruse control engaged , if I just hold the throttle in the same position it doe's not surge ?. I no this has to effect the milage and very annoying too boot. Doe's anyone have any ideas what is causing this issue ?
Thanks Bill

Pull the chip off of your PCM and see if it still does it while on the original stock tune.
Make sure you don't have the keys in the ignition when you pull the chip. Also, "modified stock" (if you have that position on the chip) is not the same. You must pull the chip and try it with the programming on the PCM.
If it doesn't do it on the stock programming, contact Jody and tell him what the tune is doing while the cruise control is engaged so he can work his magic.

I know you were referring to him, its all good. I had hoped mine was computer related but Mike had said that the CC was completely seperate from the PCM. Although the tune has fixed EVERYTHING else wrong with it!

I will be installing a DP on the X very soon and will check with Jody on this issue.Maybe the tuner is the fix !. I don't know history of the X, the PO may have flashed the PCM ?
Thanks Bill
