Easy install one tool, 15 minutes. 15 minutes first time. If I had to do it again probably be closer to 5 minutes.

Part arrived fast, easy install. But I am still at a lost to why my 4wd is not working. I changed the switch on the dash, actuator motor, and this part on this review. Even check the fuses, made sure I had good ground and still nothing
Works flawlessly, great price.

Very easy installation with the videos. There are so many non-mechanical issues with a GMC 4wd system that you can easily address yourself with some research and Youtube. This fit the bill. Thanks 1Aauto.com.

Turns out this wasn't our 4WD's problem either (most likely the encoder motor again), but we replaced it anyway since we had it. It fit perfectly and with the video was a snap to install.

This item was purchased to replace the OEM actuator that became temperature sensitive (did not work when cold). Have not installed at this time, as truck is being used to close our remote Ranch for the winter and left in 4WD. Installation appears to be simple and straight forward. Plan to install later when vehicle is not in daily use.

My 4WD drive stopping working during a snow and ice storm. I couldn't get out of my driveway because it wasn't engaging. I was getting a message on the dash as well as the shift light took many minutes before settling into 4WD. It didn't really go in though. I started reading and learned the actuator is a common problem. I watched the video from 1A Auto and price compared actuators. They actually had a fantastic price. Even if it was a little more I would have bought it because the video was so helpful. So I had the part in about a week. Luckily I have 2 other 4WD vehicles in the house. Part came and took no more than 5 minutes to swap. Next time I need to take it to the garage for something over my skill set, I will ask how much they would charge for that job. Thank you for helping so many people with your videos and for keeping the prices so low. Win-win!! -Dave in Michigan

Exact fit for a failed actuator (which shifts the front differential in and out of 4 wd. Put some teflon pipe tape on the threads (it don't come with it as the picture shows), remove the old one and screw in the new one snugly. Don't forget to apply di-electric grease to the electrical connector, plug it in and you are golden. Use large Channellocks to remove the old one but screw in the new one by hand until snug.

I determined my actuator was defective by visual inspection. I watched the 1Aauto repair video on YouTube and realized it was a straight-forward installation. I ordered the part from 1Aauto (out of appreciation for their video) and received the part quickly. The part installed just as shown in the video and my 4WD is now functioning correctly.

I noticed the transfer case would switch, but the light on the 4wd button panel kept blinking. It changes to solid, when the 4wd is locked in, which made me think it was the actuator. Ordered one from 1A Auto, and it fixed the problem! Part was an exact match! Took 15 mins with hand tools.

Unfortunately for me I replaced the actuator and now is leaking oil from the electrical connector. And that is no suppose to be happening. Whe I removed the old one the connector was dry. It was probably a defective part.

Poor Quality Part - Recommend finding a new provider 1A.
Michael
April 30, 2023
1A has always provided quality parts until this one! This is a poorly made part that leaks. It fixed my problem but left a big puddle of gear oil on my driveway. It leaks where it is riveted together.
No issues now
Chad
May 7, 2023
Woeks great. I saw other reviews saying the plastic case broke while installing it others said it worked ar first then stopped. If you over tighten it the case is going to break. The issue I had was old codes still in the computer. I cleared those out and it works great. Probably didn't need to replace the actuator but it didn't hurt.
Great product
James
May 29, 2023
Fixed the 4wd service issues, when you're installing the actuator it does fit snugly but will thread all the way down. It is recommended to replace the 4wd switch as well.

Jeff
September 3, 2024
I'm not writing off 1A Auto, as I've received good parts from them before, but this was not it. I could not even seat the actuator to the front differential before the whole part snapped in half. Customer service was great and refunded the part immediately, no questions asked. For this part, I don't think any aftermarket options were a good idea. I tried a Dorman actuator after this one and it did not work properly either. I ended up biting the bullet and spending more on the oem AC Delco part and now it works as intended.

Does this actuator control both 4H and 4L? Mine will shift into 4H but not 4L.

Yes. This actuator shifts into 4H and 4L on my 2007 GMC Sierra 1500.

James M

Yes it controls all 4wd functions. If this doesn't fix problem there are only 4 components. Actuator (reasonably priced), transfer case motor (pricey), dash electric control switch (very reasonable and easy to replace), and finally computer 4wd modular control (very pricey). Mine would jump from 2wd to 4wd on its own. Repair shop couldn't determine the cause. So I started replacing parts front to back. Luckily I found the problem at the dash control switches.

I would say no and advise you look at the gear box on back of the transfer case.
June 20, 2018

no it doesn't. that just engages the front drive shaft. you will need to look at the shift motor on the transfer case or the tranfer case itself.

I spent a lot of money only to find out on my own that the battery cable on my 2011 Tahoe was causing the 4WD fuse to blow, not letting my truck go into 4WD, a loose ground can cause this as well. Try cleaning the Battery cable first. I bought this and it worked fine but it was NOT the problem. Took the truck to a mechanic only to have it happen again after 1000.00 "fix" I noticed the battery cable was corroded by coincidence I cleaned it and replaced the blown fuse...Been fine ever since!...GOOD LUCK! Hope this helps you!
