did it this morning, installed knob, turned on offroad gauge, offroad screen and enabled selectable drive, 10 minutes start to finish. I want to thank everyone for the help and figuring this out. should come in handy with upstate NY winters. One question though, do i leave the selector in regular 2 high position when i turn on the terrain management and it will change as needed? thanks in adance.

Is the second picture the off-road screen that you enabled? I’m just wondering what the
difference is between the off-road screen and gauge.

one allows the screen where you select which mode you want, the other enables the symbol to appear obove the middle screen after the selection so it shows while your driving, the selection screen goes away after you select, does that make sense? havent had coffee yet and that is my guess as to what those two selections do. lol

I did my TM upgrade today. Thanks everyone in this thread for the R&D. I took some pictures of the clip locations thinking it may help someone in the future. EDIT: I mislabeled the numbers. Last picture should be 7-10. Whoops lol

Really nice to have them all pointed out like that. When opening it up you only really need to pop 5 and 6 with a trim tool or whatever equivalent. Then you can pull up on that end of the trim piece and others will pop themselves, or you can run your hand down the gap to pop them if they're stubborn.

I remembered to record something for once:



I haven't done the ForScan part yet and interestingly if I press the TM button twice it seems to go into 4H. So the feature works without ForScan, but you can't tell what mode you're in ?

Do the tm modes not work in 4lo? Seemed to work great on 4hi for me, but shut off in low

So a couple of thoughts about installing the drive select knob..
  • I think most people will instinctively pull the trim piece out completely, or at least most of the way, in order look under it and unplug the knob before popping it out. That isn't required as you can see in my video.
  • When reflecting on the above point, I realized that the trim might not need to pulled at all. The knob can likely just be pulled right up and out of the trim, turning a 60 second job into a 30 second job with no tools required o_O (EDIT: do not do this! see later posts about it)
I might give that a go just to see, next time I'm in the truck. I'm waiting on my ForScan-compatible OBDII reader to arrive. My wireless VeePeak works but doesn't list the IPC module, so I ordered the wired version with HS/MS switch for $20. Should be here today.

The metal prongs will keep it from coming out if you don't unclip the panel and compress them first
