I'd do it in a heartbeat as my job but I lost all confidence in my instructors upon realizing that I was relying on my own barnstorming experience more than anything they were teaching.

If I ever do it again, I'll pack my own chutes, thank you very much.

it's good to be incompetent every once in a while!

Well, thanks to a little interweb searching, it turns out that if the passenger side brake light stops working, it knocks out your cruise control on GM products of that time. LED taillight means not enough power for it to realize there is a bulb there. The new tails have resistors, but ONLY for the turn signals.

I still didn't want to cut wires, in case that wasn't the issue. So I ordered one of these bad boys.

Two days and 5 minutes later I have Cruise Control back!

The aggravating part is two local dealers couldn't tell me what was wrong with it. Surely they had seen burnt out bulbs cause the CC to go out, but whatever.

Since we use the Suburban mainly for trips of 200 miles or more it will be great to have it back!
doh! if you had mentioned you lost cruise when you did the led tails, i could have filled you in on that a long time ago!

To be honest, I didn't put the two together for a while. It was a couple of months or more between changing out the lights and when I realized the cruise stopped working as I only use it on long road trips.

It took me a while to figure out that when the cruise on my '06 F150 quit working it meant that the brake lights had failed.
