RPM Noticeable Surges

I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie SLT 5.9L V8 4x4.
Driving down the road at about 55 to 60 miles per hour and since I have custom exhaust on there I can hear it surging a little bit every once in a while and the RPMs will be at about 1800 and spurt to 2000 when it does it.
Any ideas just started happening so any help would be great before anything gets worse.
Thanks ahead.

Has the same problem. I bet the surge happens when you have cruise control on too. Dodge has a foaming carb cleaner you can get from the dealer. Spray it down the TB like you would Sea Foam and let it sit for a couple hours. Then run her until the smoke clears! The Mopar stuff was about $17 bucks a can. OMC makes a similar product for outboards that costs $6 a can (this is what I use once a year). Sea Foam should do the trick too.
Do it once a year after that and you should be good.

Did the TPS solve your issue?
Anytime I hear of a missing or a stutter at highway speeds or when your laying into it, I think of intake manifold leaks. Anywhere from the backside of the T/B all the way to the head. Generally it's an air leak between upper/lower halves. not sure what type of gaskets are used or what intake issue's the 2nd Gens even have??
At any rate, just curious.
