Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming or flashing myself?
Absolutely not. We handle all the programming for you before the part is shipped. The module will arrive at your door completely configured to your vehicle’s VIN, ready for immediate installation.
How do I provide you with my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information to ensure it is programmed correctly for your specific truck.
Is this installation difficult to do at home?
For most individuals with basic mechanical skills, this is a straightforward installation. The process typically involves disconnecting the vehicle’s battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old ECM, unbolting it, and then installing the new one in the reverse order. No special tools are required.
Will this part require a security or key relearn procedure?
In most cases with this specific module, a security relearn is not necessary as the programming to your VIN handles it. However, GM systems can vary, and a simple 10-30 minute key relearn procedure may be needed. This procedure can be done without any special tools and instructions are readily available online.
How can I be sure this will fix my truck’s problem?
This ECM is a guaranteed fix for a faulty engine computer. However, it’s crucial that your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. This part will not solve issues related to bad sensors, wiring problems, or mechanical failures. We recommend a thorough diagnosis by a qualified technician to confirm the ECM is the source of the problem.
