Is Your Silverado 2500 Running Rough? Let’s Get It Fixed.
As a technician with over two decades in the bay, I’ve seen my share of GM trucks come in with baffling issues. A 2006 Silverado 2500 with the 8.1L engine, for example, came in last month with intermittent stalling, harsh shifting, and a persistent P0606 (PCM Processor Fault) code that wouldn’t stay cleared. The owner had already replaced sensors, but the problem was the truck’s brain: the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). If you’re experiencing similar headachesโa check engine light that won’t quit, poor fuel economy, or no-start conditionsโa failing PCM is a very likely culprit.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a direct solution. We take a genuine GM-spec Electronic Control Module and program it specifically to your truck’s 17-digit VIN. This ensures all factory settings and communication protocols are perfectly matched to your vehicle’s specific options, just like it came from the factory.
Expert Pro Tip: Check Your Power Source First
Before you condemn your PCM, do a simple check. I’ve seen dozens of cases where a weak battery, corroded battery terminals, or a faulty ground wire caused voltage drops that mimicked complete PCM failure. Ensure your battery reads above 12.4 volts with the engine off and that all connections at the battery and the engine block ground are clean and tight. This five-minute check can save you a lot of diagnostic time.

Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
Installing your new PCM is straightforward. While specific locations vary slightly by model (most trucks have it under the battery tray on the driver’s side), the process is generally the same. You’ll need basic hand tools, like a socket set.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your truck’s battery and wait at least 15 minutes for all system capacitors to discharge.
- Locate the PCM: On most Silverado/Sierra models, you’ll need to remove the battery and the battery tray to access the module. It’s a silver box with multiple large electrical connectors.
- Disconnect the Old Module: Carefully release the locking tabs on the electrical connectors and pull them straight out. Avoid wiggling them side-to-side. Then, unbolt the module from its bracket.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed PCM into place. Firmly reconnect the electrical connectors, making sure the locking tabs click securely into place.
- Reconnect & Start: Reinstall the battery tray and battery, then reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle may require a security relearn procedure, which typically involves turning the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10-15 minutes before starting. Your truck is now ready to run with its new brain.
The Process is Simple:
After you complete your purchase, simply reply to your order confirmation email with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians will program the module and ship it directly to you, ready for installation.
