I'm nervous. Have 3 weeks in mine, 600 miles and a family trip to Disney begining of February. I have been in auto, 4wd hi and 2 WD through good days, snow and sleet/freezing rain since we got it. Waiting for the light...

Should I just leave it in 2wd and not drive it on bad weather days? Will that keep it from happening until we clear our vacation?
Don't worry this is a 10 minutes job.

Yeah, unless it happens in South Carolina or Georgia on I95. And I can't find a GMC dealership that deals with 4wd. If it does happen what can I tell them to speed up the repair?

Before someone suggests it, I know they all deal in 4wd but a lot of southern dealers don't stock or deal with them. I know this because my folks tried to by one in November in north Florida and they couldn't find anything but 2wd until they came ack to NY.

Mine was fixed yesterday. The service guy told me it was a known problem and (duh) and was under recall.

He said it was a s/w fix. Obviously something was done with s/w. When I switch to 2W, auto or either 4W the dash displays a new message (well at least I never saw it before). It basically says the trans is changing modes. Also, the little light on the selector now blinks while the trans is changing modes. It goes steady when the change is complete.

Well my truck is on the dealer one more time, the GM represent is going to be involved now and they have to make a decision about my car I have enough all ready. Or they fix the grinding noise and rumble or I will leave there. At this point I don't care about this is not a lease so I do not going to live with this. Also have 3 brake light full of water,drive seat move all over and some others manor issues. Let see what happens. [emoji35] [emoji35]
