Intermittent hard shifting then code U0102

2008 Silverado 1500 5.3L 4x4 4sp auto.
A few weeks ago I went to start my truck and I got nothing, no cranking or anything. I grabbed the shift lever and went up and down with it a bit, then I was able to get it started. Once started it said "service 4x4" and "stabilitrak off" when driving it the transmission would shift very hard, like dropping into gear, not normal.
Took it directly to the dealership, they couldn't find the issue, but found I needed the throttle position sensor changed, because it was a recall and my truck hadn't had it done yet. Truck worked fine after that. Yesterday it did it again, same thing when I went to start it the "service 4x4" was on only for a few seconds, then when I drove it the transmission was shifting really harsh. I searched around the past few days and I think I determined its 1 of 2 things.
1.) The neutral safety switch is faulty and not telling the computer what gear its in, then goes to default mode.
2.) Transfer case control module (TCCM) is faulty. I have a generic OBD2 code reader and it stated U0102, lost communication with transfer case control module. But how does this have anything to do with this issue when I was in 2wheel drive the entire time?
I talked to the dealership today and they want me to "bring it in, we'll have a look at it" but I know what the answer will be, they won't see the issue unless it crops up while they are test driving it.
Is the neutral safety switch easy to change? I might have a look at it and do it myself if its not too costly.

My theory is that the neutral safety switch isn't telling the rest of the system what gear its in, so then the TCCM throws a code. Am I on the right track?

      New car smell air freshener

      I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).
