Will this 10-13 climate control work in my 2010 SLT or do i need a different upgraded computer from a truck that climate control came out of?

You actually also need a different heater housing assembly and the cabin temp sensor in the overhead console. The ATC\Dual Zone housing has an additional door inside. I was toying with the idea of attempting this, but figured I'd wait and see if the heater core or evap goes before i get a new truck.

Thats for an 8.4
Im assuming I would need all of those parts, but will the dealer be able tp turn on my sales code, or will the obd work?
Nothing in that link will apply or work for your truck. 2013+ are completely different. Like jawzs2 said above, you would need the cabin infrared sensor, a whole different hvac dual zone housing (dash comes out), whatever associated wiring and modules, and programming.

Ad says from 2010-2013. Or is the guy wrong?

Ok then the one i posted, technically as long as i buy all of the sensors and such, shoukd work in my truck...correct?
I couldn’t say for certain. All I know for sure is, it will FIT in place of the one you have now, but it won’t work, until you rewire everything and add other missing components. THEN...after all that, you need to program it to work. The dealer won’t be able to do this. The alfaobd might be able to, but I don’t see anything in the menu (just browsing as I don’t have a pre 2013 truck to hook up to) that indicates enabling auto temp control. Some missing wiring that I see just looking at the diagrams are: 2 wires to the solar sensor, 3 wires to the infrared sensor (and the sensor itself), a blower motor module in place of the resistor and all its wiring, some blend door wiring, and of course, the actual dual zone hvac plumbing behind the dash. You would be the first I know of to try this, so you’d have to figure out who makes (or if you can source) the factory connectors and terminals for all the missing wiring so you can make up the harnesses that need to be added. You should be able to get part numbers for the blower module, cabin infrared sensor, and dual zone plumbing by searching for a truck with those features and getting the VIN to give to the parts guy. Keep in mind that after you do all this, you need to figure out how to program it.

Thanks for doing all that work to help me out. Wheni get out of the VA i silk start looking. But while im here, I will start buying the sensors.

Sorry, didn't read the post, just searched. I have the dual/ATC in my truck. Didn't have it in my other '09, and honestly don't think it's worth all the effort to put it in. The AC in my old truck worked great and I had no complaints.

One thing I find annoying about the ATC - when I remote start the truck on a cold morning, it cranks the defroster to full. But as soon as I get in and turn the key, it drops it down to almost nothing so I have to manually turn it back up to finish clearing the window.
