If you're reading this review, then you are probably in the market for a replacement switch, and you are wondering if you should spend your hard-earned coin on an expensive OEM piece instead of the cheaper knock-offs (and if you've been shopping around, then you know that the price differences between them are significant).That being said, I can only offer this advice: DO NOT BUY THE KNOCK-OFF STUFF. STICK WITH OEM.Unfortunately, I speak from experience. A little over two years ago I replaced my old switch with a knock-off, figuring I'd save a few bucks. Replacing the switch is not a technically difficult installation by any stretch, but it's not exactly a breeze either (removal of the airbag, steering wheel, ignition cylinder, lower dash and wiring harness). It's one of those jobs that's kind of a pain in a$$.Anyway, it worked fine ……..for about 2 years. Then it started to become difficult to move the lever up or down. That lasted a few months, until eventually is stopped working altogether! I use my old truck as my daily commuter (it's in great shape), and suddenly I found myself being one of those jerks that changes lanes without signaling, adding unnecessary stress and anxiety whenever I drove it.I wish I would have read reviews on the "cheapies", as it seems to be a pretty common occurrence that they only last 2 or 3 years. Now I had to go through the headache of pulling all of that crap off again, and doing job twice. Ugh.So if you are a DIY mechanic and plan on keeping your old iron forever like I am, then save yourself the headache, grit your teeth and bite the bullet on this expensive OEM piece. In the long run you'll be glad you did.
