Thx @Mooseman. I did download the manuals for the '06 TB - closest thing to my '08 9-7x on there, but for some reason the emissions/evap section isn't there. I'll look again...

Reviving a dead-thread here... Currently have the P0449 code and CEL on my '08 9-7x 5.3. Replaced the VVS to no avail - light and code still lit. Even tried to erase the code with generic scan tool - comes right back. I want to check the wiring harness, however, I'm a bit lost... Not...

Thanks @Mooseman

Reviving this thread for my 9-7x. @Mooseman - did you ever get the tune to permanently shut off the DoD or are you still running around sans-booster sensor/engine light? If you did get the tune, which tune is it that will disable the DoD - the Lime-Swap or something different? Thanks for the...

UPDATE: So, I paid the $396 it took to actually diagnose the issue with the AWD system (as referenced above), and the dealership that I bought it from is going to make the repairs. Taking it to them tomorrow. YAY FOR ME! Just wanna thank everyone for their input here. I will definitely be...

@Mooseman - the manuals look like the owner's manuals, not service manuals, at least for the '08 models. Am I missing something?

@Mooseman - nevermind, found em. Thanks!

So, from what the shop is telling me, it's the 4x4 actuator/dissconnector that bolts to the diff - sealed unit, can only add lube. Yep, just over 134k miles. @Mooseman - can you please forward me a link to what you found on ebay? Without a service manual, I'm kinda shooting in the dark as to...

Well, here it is, everyone. The problem w/ the AWD on the 9-7x. Beware when buying a used vehicle... ugh...

Thanks for the info Chickenhawk and Mooseman. Dropped the 9-7x off at the dealer this morning and I will let you all know what they come up with... Oh and @therealsethallen, I have the Carfax already - thanks though!!! :)

130k

Yep. Plugged in the basic code reader and got a P0430 code - TOTALLY UNRELATED!!! Starting to feel a little buyer's remorse... :faint: Anyway, will be talking to the dealership today to see if they'll help me out at all. Wish me luck!

Will a faulty encoder motor throw a code? I have a generic OBD II scan tool and the check engine light did come on yesterday.

Well, through our "SNOWMAGEDDON" storm yesterday, I was driving around and I really thought the AWD was working - probably great vehicle balance with great tires (they are brand new all seasons). But, just like therealsethallen, when I came to a stop on a slight hill, no front wheel action -...

Hi all... Brand new here, but reading through and I have this EXACT SAME PROBLEM! Seems like the AWD works, then come to a stop on a snowy incline, try to go, and no front-drive... Spin away the rears till I back up and get a run. Also, my "SERVICE STABILITRAK" light came on (on and off...
