Agreed. I did take the gamble and ordered a controller from Ebay (success reported in this forum from there), but it's not a quick job. Figure I'll wait it out until April or so when things start to melt here in CO, and it's trailer time again. Hopefully the Dealer comes through before that. It's worth the $30 to me. I really love this truck, waited 7 months for it and would not want a buy back.
