yea i posted it in technical talk first, but it said it has to get approved, so i figured it would get denied since i read what was actually in that forum and it didnt seem to fit, so now its in here ---

the button/switch shown is from a 1992-1996 GM truck… this particular picture looks like a newer truck… (judging by the gauges and light switch) I could stand corrected but my guess is he did a retrofit… no biggie, if it works it works… ---

Its automatic AWD, you should not be able to choose so it must be messed up somehow because of that switch ---
