Anybody have an extra one of these they would be willing to sell? I am needing one now, and I have talked to the store on ebay, and they said they will have another shipment here in a week or to, I just can't wait for it. If anyone would be willing to sell one, I will pay a little extra for it to cover your time. It must be NIB though, hopefully someone can help me out. Thanks!

Well.. something must be different. Why is the cap a different color and why does the drive pin not come out like in my old ac delco? They may be using some ac delco parts, however, these are not the exact pieces that you would receive direct from a GM dealership.

So i removed mine to send it back and while i had it out i turned the drive pin and i can hear scraping inside on each revolution. Probably screwing up the optical sensor. ah well. i ordered an OEM gm replacement from a dealer.
