Frequently Asked Questions
Is this module really plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we program the module using the VIN you provide, it is fully configured for your truck’s specific options and software requirements. Once installed, your vehicle will recognize it as the correct component, requiring no further programming or dealer intervention.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as it is essential for the programming process.
How do I know for sure that my TCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, a definitive diagnosis from a qualified mechanic using a professional scan tool is always recommended. Common TCM-related fault codes include U0101 (Lost Communication With TCM) and P0700 (Transmission Control System MIL Request).
Will this fix my truck’s harsh 1-2 shift?
A harsh or clunky shift, particularly between 1st and 2nd gear, is a very common symptom of a failing TCM or outdated software on these models. Our module, loaded with the latest GM updates, is specifically designed to correct these known issues and smooth out shift quality.
