Is Your GM Truck or SUV Experiencing Engine Problems?
If your Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Silverado, or GMC Sierra is suffering from erratic behavior like stalling, poor fuel economy, harsh shifting, or a persistent Check Engine Light, a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit. The PCM is the central computer of your vehicle, managing everything from fuel injection and spark timing to transmission shifting and emissions control. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose issues. Don’t let a faulty computer keep your powerful truck or SUV off the road. This direct-fit, VIN-programmed PCM is the reliable and straightforward solution you need.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2005 Silverado 2500 with the 6.0L come in that was driving the owner crazy. It had an intermittent no-start condition with no rhyme or reason. Sometimes it would start fine for a week, then it would leave him stranded. He had replaced the battery, starter, and crank sensor, but the problem persisted. After hours of tracing wires and checking grounds, we hooked up our scanner during one of its ‘no-start’ episodes and noticed the PCM wasn’t communicating. We swapped in one of our pre-programmed modules, performed the security relearn, and the truck fired up instantly. The problem never returned. It’s a classic case of internal PCM failure that doesn’t always throw a specific code.

Forget expensive dealership visits and the hassle of finding a shop that can flash a new module. We take the guesswork out of the repair. When you order this GM PCM 12582605, you’re not just getting a part; you’re getting a complete solution. We use your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to load the latest, most up-to-date GM factory software directly onto the module before it ships. This ensures perfect compatibility and optimal performance for your specific vehicle configuration. It arrives at your door ready for installation, saving you time, money, and headaches.

- ✔ Engine stalling or shutting off unexpectedly while driving.
- ✔ Intermittent no-start or hard-starting conditions.
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency.
- ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔ Misfires, rough idling, or poor engine performance.

This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of popular GM trucks and SUVs from 2003 to 2007, including the Escalade, Avalanche, Sierra, Silverado, Tahoe, Yukon, and Hummer H2. It is compatible with multiple service numbers, including 12582605, 89017750, 12589463, 12602802, 89017734, and 28042802. By programming it to your VIN, we ensure all factory settings and operational parameters are perfectly matched to your engine, transmission, and emissions equipment.

Installation is straightforward for any competent DIY mechanic or professional technician. The PCM is typically located on the driver’s side of the engine bay, under the battery tray. After swapping the hardware, a simple security relearn procedure (also known as a CASE relearn) is required to sync the new module with your vehicle’s anti-theft system. This procedure can be done without special tools and instructions are readily available online.
