I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE AN ISOLATED PROBLEM WWITH MY SPECIFIC TRUCK OR ALL OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PRROBLEM. I CAN TELL BY THE PRICING OF THIS COMPONENT ($930.00) THAT THEY ARE IN HIGH DEMAND. THERE MUST BE A PATTERN BECAUSE EVEN THE SALVAGE YARDS ARE ASKING $450.00 FOR A SALVAGED UNIT. PLS ADVISE ME IF OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE BEEN HARMED BY THIS DEFECTIVE COMPONENT.
