I know the battery ground is good. It was changed recently when a new
battery was put in. I also depend greatly on that connection for my
ham radio installation. Engine and trans mounts were replaced at
82,000 miles. Problem just comes and goes with no apparent
relationship to anything. Doesn't matter if cruise is on or off, but
more noticeable with it off as you have your foot on the throttle.
