An Expert’s Note on Your Truck’s Electronics
As a technician, I’ve seen countless issues on the GMT355 platform (which includes your Isuzu I-280, the Chevy Colorado, and GMC Canyon). These are tough, dependable trucks, but their electronics are precise. A common mistake is installing a used, unprogrammed computer. This almost never works correctly and can even cause new problems with security systems or transmission controls. That’s why getting a properly programmed 2006 Isuzu I-280 PCM is non-negotiable. We ensure the software is not only correct for your VIN but also fully updated, which often solves drivability quirks you might have thought were normal.
