Default What do you think?????

I want to know what do you guys think is going on with my truck. Two weeks ago I am driving down the road and my power locks start locking and unlocking by themselves as I am driving. I shut the truck off and when I restart it everything is OK. Nothing else for two weeks then today I try to set my cruise and the dash cruise light comes on but as soon as I hit the set button the cruise goes off. Again I turn the truck off, and try it again and it works fine. My question is this...Is somethying big getting ready to happen, or is this ok since the truck seems to fix itself?

I would bet that you have a bug in the computer programming. I say this as the computer is the only common factor with the 2 issues that you are having. I would try and go get your CPU flashed at the dealer. There might be updates that your truck could use.

As far as something big....you could wait and see if the CPU craps out all together and then have a nice tow charge to get it to the dealer.

Does anybody know what it will cost to have the computer reflashed?

I wouldn't worry as much about the cost. I would get to a dealer to see if they dealt with this type of problem before. They can tell you the cost of flashing.
