Get Your Heavy-Duty Truck Shifting Perfectly Again
Is your Silverado or Sierra HD truck suffering from harsh shifts, getting stuck in gear, or throwing confusing transmission codes? A faulty Transmission Control Module (TCM) is one of the most common causes of these frustrating and costly issues. When your work truck is down, you’re losing time and money. This pre-programmed TCM is the definitive, reliable solution to get your vehicle back on the road and performing like it should, without an expensive trip to the dealership.

An Expert’s Note on Getting Back to Work
“We had a contractor call us, completely frustrated. His 2004 Silverado 3500 was stuck in limp mode, and his local shop quoted him a massive bill that included days of waiting for a dealership appointment to program a new module. That’s a truck that isn’t earning its keep. We sent him this pre-programmed 2001-2005 Sierra 3500 TCM overnight. He installed it in his driveway in under an hour and was back on the job site the next morning. That’s the difference this solution makesโit’s not just a part, it’s a direct path to getting your uptime back.”
