I could barely make sense out of any of that.

But if it is brand new, and you are having issues. TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER ASAP!!!

It should be fine. Cruise won't work and you'll have idiot lights on but otherwise drivable. I prolly drove mine 300 ish miles like that.

Old12,

I agree with the other poster about taking it back to the dealer. You should not be having these lights come on in a brand new truck.

had same thing on my 09 with maybe a couple thousand miles, hasnt dont it since at 45,000 miles. sometimes you get a defective part/sensor and they usualy show the defect very early in life.
its a function of the bell curve that most parts either fail very early or late in life.

Its Your abs wheel speed sensor i just went thru this, also your deal will tell you they are on back order. I found that if they look at other dealerships there are some sitting on shelves. not a big deal it sucks its a new truck, this is a big reason they need to quit getting S**T made in china or mexico!
