Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Diesel Truck or Van
Is your 2006-2007 Chevy Express, Silverado, GMC Savana, or Sierra suffering from frustrating engine issues? The Engine Control Module (ECM) is the brain of your LLY Duramax diesel engine, managing everything from fuel injection and timing to emissions controls and transmission shifting. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of problems, from poor fuel economy and rough idling to a complete no-start condition. This direct replacement ECM, part number 12606126, is the definitive solution to get your hardworking vehicle back in top form.
This isn’t just a part in a box. We provide a comprehensive service by programming the module specifically to your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This critical step ensures that all factory settings, security protocols (anti-theft), and operational parameters are perfectly matched to your truck or van’s original specifications. By loading the latest GM-authorized software updates, we also ensure your engine operates with maximum efficiency and reliability, addressing potential issues that were corrected in later software releases.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2006 Silverado 2500 HD with the LLY Duramax towed in. The owner had already replaced two injectors on the passenger side bank, chasing a persistent misfire and a cloud of white smoke on startup. The codes were pointing to injector circuit faults, but the new parts didn’t fix it. After checking the wiring harness and finding no issues, we scoped the injector driver signals coming directly from the ECM. We found the signal for cylinder 4 was weak and erratic. The fault wasn’t the injector itself, but the driver circuit inside the original ECM had failed. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, performed the security relearn, and the truck fired up instantly, running smoother than it had in years. It’s a classic case of symptoms pointing to one part, while the root cause lies with the computer controlling it.
Common Symptoms of a Failing GM Diesel ECM
- ✔ Check Engine Light is illuminated with various trouble codes (DTCs).
- ✔ Vehicle refuses to start or has intermittent starting problems.
- ✔ Noticeable loss of engine power and poor acceleration.
- ✔ Rough or unstable engine idle.
- ✔ Decreased fuel economy.
- ✔ Problems with the automatic transmission shifting, such as harsh shifts or getting stuck in gear.
- ✔ Communication errors when trying to scan the vehicle with a diagnostic tool.
- ✔ Injector or sensor circuit fault codes that persist even after replacing the component.
Understanding Your 2006-2007 Express 3500 ECM
The 2006-2007 Express 3500 ECM is a robust component, but it’s not immune to failure from heat, vibration, and age. Located in the engine compartment (under the battery on pickups, in the rear or front on vans), it’s in a harsh environment. Internal circuit board failures can lead to unpredictable and hard-to-diagnose symptoms. Replacing the module with a correctly programmed unit is the most reliable way to resolve these complex electronic issues and avoid chasing down phantom sensor or wiring problems. Our process eliminates the need for expensive dealership programming and specialized tools, making the repair straightforward for you or your mechanic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming after I receive this ECM?
No. We program the ECM with your vehicle’s VIN before it ships. In most cases, you will only need to perform a simple security relearn procedure, which can be done without any special tools and typically takes about 30 minutes. Instructions can be easily found online or in a service manual.
Where do I provide my VIN?
You can add your 17-digit VIN in the notes section during checkout or reply to your order confirmation email with the information. We cannot ship your part until we have the VIN to program it correctly.
Is this ECM compatible with my 2007 Silverado 2500 Classic?
Yes, this module is compatible with the 2007 ‘Classic’ body style trucks (identified by a creased door skin) that are equipped with the LLY diesel engine. It covers a wide range of Silverado, Sierra, Express, and Savana models from 2006-2007.
What if I install it and my problem doesn’t go away?
While a faulty ECM is a very common cause for the symptoms listed, vehicle diagnostics can be complex. We guarantee our module is programmed correctly and functional. If the issue persists, it may indicate another problem with the vehicle’s wiring, sensors, or other components. We recommend having the vehicle diagnosed by a qualified technician if you are unsure.
