I have a 91 F-250 5.8 E4OD that does this same thing. It doesn't affect my cruise once I have it set at correct speed but speedo will jump. It almost always jumps about 5mph also, bounces sometimes but usually jumps about 5mph. If your not looking when it happens and the cruise was not set yet you don't know if your doing 55 or 60.

If I set mine in that speed zone without looking, my cruise jumps with the needle jump

It could be bad bearing in the rear end or junk collected on the rear end sensor on the 94 truck. Try removing the sensor, wiping it off and putting it back in. Also check the wiring going to the rear end sensor.

The 91 truck is a different set up and could be a bad cable or the cable needs to be lubed.
