Restore Peak Transmission Performance in Your 2007 Sierra 2500
Is your 2007 GMC Sierra 2500 suffering from erratic shifting, getting stuck in gear, or displaying a check engine light with transmission codes? These are classic signs of a failing Transmission Control Module (TCM). The TCM is the electronic brain of your automatic transmission, responsible for orchestrating every gear change and ensuring smooth, efficient operation. When it fails, it can lead to frustrating and potentially damaging driving conditions. This genuine quality T42 TCM, part number 24235754, is the definitive solution to restore your truck’s factory performance and reliability.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2007 Sierra 2500 with the 6.0L engine come into the shop with a classic complaint: it would shift hard from 1st to 2nd when cold, but the problem would sometimes disappear after warming up. The owner had already replaced a shift solenoid with no luck. After scanning, we found a generic P0700 code and an intermittent solenoid circuit code. Instead of chasing electrical ghosts, we checked the TCM connectors for corrosion—they were clean. The symptoms pointed directly to internal failure in the original module. We installed one of our VIN-programmed T42 TCMs, cleared the codes, and the truck was shifting like it just rolled off the assembly line. It’s a common issue where the module itself is the root cause, not the components it controls.
Diagnosing a Faulty 2007 Sierra 2500 TCM
A failing transmission module can manifest in various ways, often mimicking mechanical transmission problems. Before condemning your transmission, it’s crucial to consider the TCM as the potential culprit. This component is responsible for processing data from multiple sensors to command precise shifts. A faulty module can disrupt this communication, leading to poor performance and warning lights. Our replacement 2007 Sierra 2500 TCM is engineered to resolve these issues permanently.
Common Symptoms of TCM Failure
- âś” Harsh, delayed, or erratic gear shifts that disrupt driving smoothness.
- âś” Vehicle entering “limp mode,” often stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear, with limited power.
- âś” Illumination of the Check Engine Light or Transmission Warning Light on your dashboard.
- âś” Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P0700, P0750, or other solenoid-specific faults.
- âś” Inability to upshift or downshift, leading to poor acceleration and fuel economy.
- âś” Complete loss of communication with the transmission, resulting in a no-start or no-shift condition.
The Plug-and-Play Advantage: Pre-Programmed for Your Truck
One of the biggest hurdles in replacing modern electronic modules is the need for expensive dealership programming. We eliminate that step entirely. Each T42 module is meticulously programmed to your truck’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ships. This ensures that it arrives with the latest GM software updates and is perfectly calibrated for your vehicle’s powertrain configuration. The result is a true plug-and-play installation that saves you time, money, and a trip to the dealer. Simply install the module, connect the battery, and you’re ready to drive.
Effortless Installation
For the 2007 GMC Sierra 2500 (new body style with smooth door skin), the TCM is conveniently located next to the battery in the engine compartment. The replacement process is straightforward and can typically be completed in under 30 minutes with basic hand tools.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts and help reset the vehicle’s electronic systems.
- Locate the Module: Find the TCM mounted next to the battery.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors and unbolt the old module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed TCM into place and securely reconnect the electrical harnesses.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the battery terminal. While the module is plug-and-play, it’s always best practice to use a scan tool to clear any stored DTCs from the system.
With no core charge, you don’t have to worry about the hassle of returning your old part. This makes the repair process even simpler and more convenient.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a T42 Transmission Control Module do?
The T42 TCM is the computer that controls all functions of your vehicle’s 4-speed automatic transmission. It reads data from sensors like vehicle speed and engine load to determine the perfect time to shift gears, control torque converter lockup for fuel efficiency, and monitor the transmission’s health.
Is this module difficult to install on my 2007 Sierra 2500?
No, installation is very straightforward. On the 2007 Sierra 2500, the TCM is located in the engine bay next to the battery. It requires unbolting the old module, unplugging its connectors, and installing the new one. Since it comes pre-programmed to your VIN, no further computer setup is needed.
What does ‘VIN Programmed’ mean and why is it important?
‘VIN Programmed’ means we load the module with the specific software and calibrations for your truck’s exact build using your Vehicle Identification Number. This ensures perfect communication with your engine computer and other systems, guaranteeing correct shift points and transmission behavior without a trip to the dealership for coding.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general fault code indicating the TCM has detected a problem and requested the check engine light. While this module often resolves the root cause that triggers a P0700 (like internal circuit failure), it’s important to have the specific transmission codes read to confirm the diagnosis. This part directly fixes issues originating within the module itself.
Do I need to send my old part back for a core charge?
No, there is absolutely no core charge on this part. You can keep your old module or dispose of it at your convenience, making the purchasing and installation process simpler and more affordable.
