What/where is the "transducer"?

The erratic behaviour is similar to your experience, but more extreme.
Once the speed is set, the truck will surge and coast on flat (0% grade) roads randomly. Since I have already replaced the brake light switch, I am attributing this undesirable performance to worn-out vacuum diaphrams or faulty electronics in the transducer.
The transducer is the primitive brain controlling your speed. It is located on the wheel well near the firewall on the driver's side. The speedometer cable enters and leaves it, as well as, several vacuum lines, and one 2- or 3-wire harness. It is a complex little beast.
