AT4 Transfer case control module


Recommended Posts

Posted

Jumped in my AT4 this morning for a 7 hour trip from IL to MI and it was locked in 4WD and I could not change to 2 high at all. Gears sounded and felt all messed up, made like a whining and grinding noise and was way worse low speed turning because the wheels appeared to be jumping. The engine light was on as well. Thankfully there happened to be a GMC dealer across the street from my hotel so I took it in. They checked everything and determined it was the transfer case control module. The part is supposed to be here in the morning so back to the hotel I go.  So far this truck has the same crazy messages that pop up in really cold weather, my park assist is messing up and my seats vibrate for no reason like it senses something in front of the truck, my DIC goes black at least once a day sometimes for 10 seconds and sometimes for 10 minutes. And apparently there was a trailer I disconnected...you all have discussed these things but man it is very irritating to me, considering the price of these things.  Trying to remain optimistic and hope the bugs all get fixed soon so I can build me some confidence taking this thing on trips.

I hear ya. Hopefully the fix goes smoothly for your transfer case (even though it shouldn’t have happened in the first place). 

 

The cold weather bugs, well, no fix for those. That’s what irritates me the most. I understand stuff happens, but if after months there’s still no solution from the biggest automaker in the world...well...that’s just not right.

 

Also feel like these issues should have been readily apparent during pre-production testing, given the amount of people with the problems.

    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended? 
    • So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
