Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, we will need your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is essential for us to program the module correctly for your truck’s specific configuration and features.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most DIY mechanics, this is a very manageable job. The PCM is typically located on the RH firewall. It involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the old module. The new one bolts in the same way. No special tools are usually required.
Will I need to do anything after installation?
In some cases, a security relearn procedure (often called a Passlock relearn) may be required. This is a simple process that you can do yourself in about 30 minutes with just the ignition key and does not require any special tools. We can provide instructions if needed.
How do I know this will fix my truck?
While this PCM resolves the most common electronic failures, it’s crucial to have your vehicle properly diagnosed. If your mechanic has confirmed the PCM is faulty by checking power, ground, and communication circuits, then this part is the definitive solution.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a high-quality, inspected, and tested service replacement part that has been programmed with the latest software to ensure it functions correctly and reliably in your vehicle.
