It arrives at your door pre-programmed to your truck’s specific VIN, ensuring a seamless installation and restoring the crisp, reliable shifting you depend on from your Allison transmission.

If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, a faulty TCM is the most likely culprit. This module is engineered to resolve these exact problems:
- Harsh or delayed shifting
- Getting stuck in one gear (Limp Mode)
- No communication with the TCM
- Check Engine Light or Transmission Warning Light
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P0700, P0894, or U0101
Don’t let a bad module sideline your truck. This Programmed 2001-2005 Silverado Sierra TCM is your direct-fit, ready-to-install answer to restore peak transmission performance.
Expert Insight: The Power of VIN-Specific Programming
Why is VIN programming so critical? Your truck’s computer systems, from the engine to the instrument cluster, are in constant communication. A generic, non-programmed module can’t speak their language correctly, leading to persistent performance issues or even a no-start condition. By flashing this module with the latest GM software matched precisely to your VIN, we ensure it integrates perfectly with your truck’s unique configuration. This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you hundreds of dollars and significant downtime. It’s the ‘get it done right the first time’ approach for your heavy-duty truck.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Transmission Control Module (TCM)?
The TCM is the electronic brain of your automatic transmission. It receives data from various sensors on the vehicle and uses that information to control shift points, line pressure, and torque converter lockup for optimal performance and fuel efficiency.
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This module is sold as a fully programmed unit. We handle all the flashing and software updates before it ships. It is ready to be installed in your vehicle right out of the box.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We will provide clear instructions on how to do this. We cannot ship the part until we have programmed it with your VIN.
My original part number isn’t 15187103. Will this still work?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for a wide range of service numbers, including 15768288, 15071240, 15163072, and others listed in the description. As long as your vehicle is a 2001-2005 Silverado or Sierra 2500/3500 with the 5-speed Allison (M74), this is the correct part.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The TCM is typically located on the driver’s side of the fan shroud in the engine bay. For someone with moderate mechanical experience, it is a straightforward installation that involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the module. However, we always recommend consulting a service manual or a professional mechanic if you are unsure.
