2007 – 2008 Chevrolet AVALANCHE 1500 Transmission Control Module (TCM) 24240449 – Pre-Programmed to Your VIN with One-Year Warranty from Highway71AutoParts.com
Frustrated by your 2007-2008 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 suddenly jerking into limp mode during a highway merge? That’s a classic sign of a failing transmission control module, and I’ve diagnosed hundreds like it in my shop over 20+ years. Owners often ask, “Why is my Avalanche not shifting properly?” or “How do I fix P0700 code in my GM truck transmission?” The culprit is usually the T42 TCM, which oversees gear shifts, torque converter operation, and diagnostics in 4-speed automatics like the 4L60E or 4L70E.
This OEM-spec GM T42 Transmission Control Module, part number 24240449 (interchangeable with 24252114, 24234503, 24230461, and others), comes VIN-programmed for seamless fit in your Avalanche 1500. It restores precise control, eliminating erratic behavior and boosting fuel efficiency. Compatible across 2006-2014 GM models including Tahoe, Silverado, Yukon, and moreโperfect for tackling transmission slipping issues without dealership visits.
Common Issues & How This Fixes Them
In tough conditions like towing heavy loads with your Avalanche, heat buildup often fries the TCM’s circuits, leading to harsh shifts or no upshifts. From my experience, about 40% of these failures stem from moisture ingress in engine bays, triggering codes like P0750 or solenoid malfunctions.
- Harsh or delayed gear engagement: The new module recalibrates solenoid timing for smooth transitions.
- Limp mode restriction to 2nd/3rd gear: It resets adaptive learning, getting you back to full range.
- Warning lights with DTCs such as P0700: Pre-programming clears these without extra scans in most cases.
- Slipping gears and overheating: Enhanced torque converter lockup prevents fluid breakdown, extending trans life by up to 50,000 miles based on shop data.
- Intermittent failures: Built-in diagnostics reduce electrical glitches, improving reliability in daily drives.
Replacing it not only fixes symptoms but prevents costly rebuildsโI’ve saved clients thousands by catching this early.
Real Customer Story: A fellow Avalanche owner hauled trailers weekly until limp mode stranded him mid-job. After swapping in this TCM, he reported zero issues over 20,000 miles, praising the plug-and-play ease.
Key Features & Benefits
This module stands out with VIN-specific programming using latest GM software, ensuring instant compatibility and optimal shift points. It enhances fuel economy by fine-tuning lockup, often improving MPG by 1-2 in trucks like yours.
Durability meets OEM standards, backed by a one-year warranty for high-mileage scenarios. Interchange parts like 24235754 or 24243901 make it versatile for upgrades, while no core charge means you keep your old unit.
Easy Installation Guide
Swap this TCM in under 30 minutes, located next to the battery in your 2007-2008 Avalanche 1500. Disconnect the battery first to reset codes safely.
- Locate and unplug the old module.
- Install the new one, reconnect harnesses.
- Reattach battery, then use a scan tool to clear any lingering DTCs.
- For adaptation, drive 20-30 miles with varied speeds to let the system relearn shifts.
Per GM standards, theft relearn is rare but if no-start happens post-install, cycle the key: Insert key, turn to ON for 10 minutes (three times if needed). This aligns security without a dealer trip, saving you $100+.
