An Expert’s Note on Getting Back to Work Fast
“We had a contractor call us in a panic. His ’03 Sierra 3500 dump truck wouldn’t start, and he had a crew waiting at a job site. The dealership quoted him over a week of downtime just for diagnostics and programming. We shipped him this pre-programmed 12210729 PCM for Silverado Sierra 2500 3500 overnight. He swapped it out in under an hour right there in his yard. The truck fired right up, and he was back to work the next day. For him, this wasn’t just a part; it was the key to keeping his business running. That’s the confidence we aim to deliver.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This module comes fully programmed to the VIN you provide. It is designed to be a plug-and-play installation. In some cases, a ‘CASE Relearn’ (Crankshaft Position System Variation Learning) may be required, which can be performed with a compatible high-level scan tool.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, we will send you an email requesting your VIN. You can simply reply to that email, and our technicians will handle the programming before the unit is shipped.
How can I be sure this fits my truck?
This ECM fits 2002-2004 Silverado & Sierra 2500/3500 pickups with the diesel engine. For 2004 models, it is critical that the 8th digit of your VIN is a ‘1’. Please verify this information against the fitment list on this page before ordering.
