Expert Insight: The “Simple Swap” Success Story
We recently worked with a contractor whose 2002 Silverado 2500 work truck was completely dead in the water. It would crank but never start, and his scanner couldn’t communicate with the original computer. The dealership quoted him over a thousand dollars for a new module and the required programming. He was about to lose a week of work. Instead, he ordered this programmed 12576160 PCM from us. It arrived two days later, he swapped it out in under 30 minutes right there in the parking lot, and the truck fired up on the first try. He was back on the job site the next morning, saving both time and money. That’s the power of a reliable, pre-programmed solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is essential for us to program the module correctly for your specific make, model, and options.
Is this module difficult to install?
For most vehicles on the fitment list, the PCM is located in the engine bay and is held in by a few bolts and has 2-3 electrical connectors. Installation is typically straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. Always disconnect the battery before beginning the installation.
Will I need to perform any other procedures after installation?
In many cases, you may need to perform a security relearn procedure, which can often be done without special tools and involves a sequence of key turns. For vehicles with a crankshaft position sensor, a CASE (Crankshaft Angle Sensor Error) relearn with a capable scan tool may be required to prevent a Check Engine light. We recommend consulting a service manual for your specific vehicle.
Is this a genuine GM part?
This is a quality replacement module that is fully compatible with the original GM part numbers listed. It is programmed using official GM software and updates to ensure it functions exactly like the original component.
How does the one-year replacement warranty work?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. If the module fails within one year of the purchase date due to an internal defect, we will provide a replacement unit. The warranty covers the part itself.
Will this fix my vehicle’s specific problem?
This programmed 12576160 PCM is a direct solution for failures within the computer itself. While it resolves the vast majority of electronic running issues, it’s crucial to ensure your vehicle’s wiring, sensors, and other components are in good working order. Proper diagnosis is key to a successful repair.
