Is Your Work Truck Sidelined by Shifting Problems?
A faulty Transmission Control Module (TCM) can bring your hard-working 2001-2005 Silverado or Sierra HD to a grinding halt. If you’re experiencing harsh shifting, getting stuck in gear, or seeing the dreaded check engine light, your truck’s brain is likely the culprit. This isn’t just an annoyance; it’s downtime that costs you time and money. Get back the reliable performance you depend on with this direct-fit, VIN-programmed TCM for your Allison transmission.
Common Symptoms & Your Direct-Fit Solution
A failing TCM can manifest in several ways, often triggering Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0700, P0842, or U0101. You might notice:
