I hate to say it, but my next one may be a Ford!

3 out of 4 on mine are not working and haven't for some time.....wait for it..........08 silverado.

Any idea if it is just a quick fix I can do myself or do I need to bring it to a shop? Heading to NOLA tomorrow for a wedding and cruise control would be nice. I always forget that it is broken until I get on the interstate going somewhere.

LCD if you didn't change out your upper control arms get ready to do that too. $150 in parts from Rockauto.com and about and hour and a half to fix.

Well Hell. If that many of us are having issues with our Chevy's, we should set up a saltycajun group buy. We might get a nice discount. I'm sure Bolton Ford would gladly accommodate us!!

Sounds like a plan to me. I went pick up a Ram 1500 today and am driving it around today & tomorrow to see how I like it. I'll either be buying a Ram or a Ford in the near future. It's just hard to swallow forking out all that extra money for a Ford.

My only issue with my truck is the rear passenger side power lock is out. My check engine light has been on for 35,000 miles maybe more (probably an o2 sensor) Other that that it's fine. It's an 08 with 75,000 HWY miles on it. I bought it for $24,000 out the door brand new. No way I could get a new truck simliarly equiped for under $30,000 and I'm not ready for another note.

With that being said if I was to buy a new trck tomorrow I'd go with whomever gave me the best "deal" They all break, some more that others.
