My son is looking at a 2004 Avalanche. 94,600 miles and every option available for the year. It's owned by a banker and he ordered it with everything. He can get it for about $10,500.Anyway, I test drove it and the "service 4 wheel drive" light popped on. Does this indicate a serious condition, or is it a "take it to the dealer and reset it" sort of thing? Any of you folks know anything about that code? Thanks!

I just left my local Chevy dealer. I spoke with a buddy that has worked there forever, and he told me about the same thing. He's a parts man and said most of the time it's the encoder motor, or a ??? module. The encoder would set me back $413.00, and the module is $310.00. He did say to have it scanned, looked at, or what ever before buying either of those parts. Thanks for the input.
