Restore Your Truck’s Fuel Delivery and Reliability
Is your 2007-2009 Silverado 1500 experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation on acceleration, or a dreaded “crank, no start” condition? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the real culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). Located on the driver-side frame rail, this critical component is exposed to road salt, moisture, and vibration, leading to corrosion and internal failure. This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the guesswork and dealer expense out of the equation by programming this module with the latest GM software specifically for your truck’s VIN before it ships. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s computer systems and restores factory performance.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Case of the Intermittent Stall
A customer brought in his ’08 Sierra with a problem that was driving him crazy. It would run fine for days, then suddenly stall at a stoplight and refuse to restart for 10-15 minutes. He’d already replaced the fuel pump, but the issue persisted. When I put it on the lift, I went straight for the FPCM on the frame rail. Sure enough, the aluminum housing was heavily corroded, and the connector pins were green with oxidation. This corrosion creates high resistance, causing the module to overheat and shut down intermittently. After installing a new, pre-programmed FPCM, the truck ran perfectly. This is a repair I’ve done hundreds of times on these GM trucks; the location is its biggest weakness, and a new module is almost always the definitive fix.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump, but there are specific signs to watch for. If your vehicle is experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution.
- âś” Sudden engine stalling, especially when warm
- âś” Engine cranks but will not start
- âś” Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- âś” Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- âś” An active Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the 2007-2009 Silverado 1500 FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle in their own driveway with basic tools. Since we program it for you, no expensive scan tools are needed.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the FPCM mounted to the inside of the driver-side frame rail, typically above the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. You may need a small flathead screwdriver to release the locking tab. Then, remove the bolts securing the module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into the original location. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Connect and Finalize: Plug the electrical connector firmly into the new module until it clicks. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN is required to load the correct GM-certified software onto the module. This ensures it communicates perfectly with your truck’s engine computer (ECM) and other systems, just like a part from the dealership.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we program it to your VIN before shipping, no further programming or dealer visit is required. You can install it yourself and your vehicle will be ready to drive immediately.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2008 Silverado?
On most GM trucks and SUVs like the Silverado, Sierra, and Tahoe, the FPCM is mounted to the inside of the driver’s side frame rail, often near or above the spare tire.
Will this fix a check engine light for code P069E?
Yes, P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is one of the most common diagnostic trouble codes indicating a failed FPCM. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair for this code.
What if I have a different part number on my old module?
This module replaces several older part numbers. As long as your original part number is on our compatible list (e.g., 20759945, 25866052), this unit will be a direct, updated replacement for your vehicle.
