Anybody have any luck with preprogrammed TCCMs? I have tried two of the preprogrammed modules and neither one of them have worked even though they are supposed to be programmed to my truck vin# (2010 sierra). The first one was a Dorman from Advanced and it did start to sort of work after driving it for a while, it would switch in or out of 4 wheel but it took a long time before it would switch and usually would only switch after a start up, once or twice it did switch out of four wheel while I was driving. Eventually it started to switch in or out without me even changing the switch. Needless to say that was useless I returned it and got a refund. I thought maybe I just got a bad one and decided to try one from Highway71 and installed it and it just won't switch into four wheel like the Dorman in the beginning. I'm not even going to try driving it to see if it will start working. With my original module it became stuck in four wheel and I can get it out of four wheel by removing the 30 amp fuse or into by installing it. Just wondering if these preprogrammed modules work for anyone? I'm assuming they should work. I have also ruled out the actuator and switch as being the problem and also cleaned the ground under the cab driver's side.

TCCMs have to be programmed to your vehicle.  Stick with GM OE, the aftermarket sensors and computers do not play nice with the electronics on the truck.

 

Has a bi-directional scan tool been put on the truck to make sure a new TCCM is necessary?

    • I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?
    • Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL
    • Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.
    • Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
