My 1997 Explorer 4wd 6cyl has a consistent cruise control surge [/B]problem. Setting a 70mph speed results in the speedometer needle going from 69 to 72 mph and back again.

The cruise relay has been replaced twice, but the problem remains unresolved and the dealers say "ge, we've never heard of that one" (Duh?) Any advice on what to try or any new infor as to cause is appreciated.

Thanx.
