Your not getting the innuendo and old school will be around for a long, long time. With that being said, every single part with these new vehicles is 100% controlled by a PCM. My truck now has to much controlled by a computer, but I still have the authority over it, if something glitches somewhere in the maze of electronics the PCM says NOPE and your shut down.
My reasoning behind the shift cable/knob issue is that that gear selection knob is no doubt 5 bills or better and you'll have to wait on the dealer to get one, so no telling how many days you'll be down for that. If your shift cable just happens to break (which I've only seen like twice), you go to the parts house up the street and grab you a new one, go back and spend about an hour or so to install and your back on the road that day.
This country is made up of sheep and feminized men... this forum is here for people to learn how to work on there own vehicle and converse with like minded folks. I'm amazed every day at how many people are so unselfsufficiant and have no idea how to do anything, but talk about some goofy ****'s throwing around a chunk of leather and who's getting drafted and fantasy league and all that. If you wanna strive in this world stop depending on someone else to be there to do it for you and teach yourself how to do it. Look at the 2nd gen guys, they have a plethora of threads on "How To" for pretty much everything. I truly believe that they choose to stay with a 2nd gen because they are self sufficient and know how repair their stuff - even on the side of the road if it came down to it, plus they are super simple to work on.
Just because everyone else is getting the new stuff to be in the "cool" crew doesn't mean you have to put the skinny jeans on and be a trendy also. I'll probably get tons of flack for this, but there will be others that understand.
