- Vehicle won’t start or stalls intermittently
- Harsh or unpredictable transmission shifting
- Noticeable decrease in fuel economy
- Communication errors with scan tools
Replacing your faulty module with our professionally programmed 2005-2007 Savana 2500 PCM is the most effective way to resolve these complex electronic issues and get your vehicle operating to factory standards.

Expert Insight: The Critical Role of VIN Programming
As a technician, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners try to save a few dollars by installing a used PCM from a salvage yard. It almost never works. Modern GM vehicles use a sophisticated anti-theft system (VATS/Passlock) that is tied directly to the VIN stored in the original PCM. Installing a module from another vehicle will result in a no-start condition. Our VIN programming service not only matches the module to your vehicle’s security system but also ensures all the specific calibrations for your engine, transmission, and emissions equipment are perfectly loaded. This isn’t just a convenienceโit’s essential for the repair to be successful.
