SURGING

When I'm on level ground or going down hill my cruise control surges bad. When going up a grade it's ok. Anybody got a clue?

Cruise control is one of those things I don't see talked about out here much, but there *has*
been some decent information posted about it in the not-too-distant past. Try using the
Advanced Search feature; search only in this forum, limit posts to within the last year, and
search on "cruise control" (with the quotes added) and see if you can find anything helpful.
If you find something good but have more questions about what the person wrote, you
might try sending 'em a PM and ask 'em to add any info to your post (providing a link to it in
your PM would be helpful).

So after look'n everywhere I could it seems that the surging might be the diaphram in the servo. Now I need to get out my chiltons and figure out where exactly the servo for the cruise is. Thanks for all the help.
