Expert Insight: The Smarter Fix for Your Work Truck
As a technician, I’ve seen countless hours wasted trying to diagnose the ghost-in-the-machine issues caused by a failing BCM. Many people are tempted to grab a used module from a salvage yard, but this is a critical mistake. An unprogrammed BCM from another vehicle will not communicate correctly with your truck’s other modules, like the Engine Control Module (ECM) or Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SDM) system, leading to even more problems. Our 2013 Silverado 3500 BCM programmed service takes the risk and guesswork out of the repair. We ensure the module has the correct software and vehicle-specific data loaded before it ever leaves our facility, making your repair as simple and effective as possible.

By providing a part that’s ready for immediate installation, we help you minimize downtime and restore the dependability you expect from your Silverado. This is the quality repair your hard-working truck deserves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this BCM?
No. This Body Control Module comes pre-programmed to your vehicle’s VIN. It is a plug-and-play solution that does not require any additional programming or a trip to the dealership, saving you time and money.
What if my airbag light is still on after installation?
In some cases, particularly if you had an airbag-related DTC like B1001, the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s SDM. This requires a professional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This is a quick sync process, not a full reprogramming.

The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. Installation is straightforward and usually takes less than 15 minutes with basic tools.
Does this part require a core return?
No, there is no core charge for this module. You can keep your old part, eliminating the hassle and expense of shipping it back.
