Cruise Control Module '97 Vortec 350

So it's going out on my cousin's truck, the dealership wants like $250 for the thing if not more. As you go up even the slightest grades it can't hold the cruise. Truck has more than enough power, my right foot gets it up the hill in reasonable fashion, but the cruise can't anymore. There is a module on eBay for $99 that has AC stamped on it, like Delco parts do, I was wondering if that seems reasonable to anyone else?

So no one, I take it, has had their cruise control actuator/module thingy go out on them. Interesting.

Huh thats strange. I bought a chevy malibu with cruise problems. First I thought it was the brake switch because if you just touched the pedal the cruise would shut off. I replaced that and it still would shut off! It ended up needing a module.

Is the one on ebay used? If so I wouldnt bother with ebay for someting like that. Id call a few salvage yards and see if they have the part.

Great idea with the salvage yards. I agree.
