My cruise control went out in my 03 K1500 Sierra after I flogged it out at the Oceano dunes. It ended up being a bad tach in the drive by wire module according to the dealer.

I've had the reduced power mode happen, but it wasn't because of any electric throttle failure, it was because I didn't have the throttle body firmly plugged in.
