    Stuck TCC switch, how long since the last service?( filter/fluid/gasket).

    You might be able to clean it by adding seafoam, but id get the switch replaced. around 800 at a dealer..... someone on here might know more though.

    Mail order it, I dont think ive ever heard of anyone in canuckville using or having access to it.


    The S-10 guys with their 4.3's swear by the can of wonder. the 4.3 makes our 3.8 carbon look non existant.
