cruise control

I am driving my '90 f250 again after my father having it for about 6 months, when I set the cruise control it goes up and down about 4 miles per hour and does it very rapidly; it is so bad I couldn't even use the cruise. Any ideas?
P.S haven’t had any time to search the forum either.<O</O

i believe there was a post not to long ago about somewhat of the same problem, that is if memory isnt playing with me, i believe they said it was the torqe converter slipping, that may be your prob, if that is you have an auto tranny!

that would be bad, the torque convertor and trans rebuild have less than 1,000 miles and no towing.

P.S. New torque convertor
