An Expert’s Note: The Work Truck Lifesaver
“We had a customer with a 2018 Silverado 2500 work truck that was dead in the water. It would crank but not start, and communication with the original ECM was intermittent. The dealership quoted him over a thousand dollars and a week of downtime—a disaster for his contracting business. We ordered this programmed 12692201 ECM for him. It arrived two days later, we installed it, performed the quick security relearn, and the truck fired right up. He was back on the job site the same afternoon, having saved hundreds of dollars and a full week of lost income. For hardworking vehicles, a reliable, plug-and-play solution like this is invaluable.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the ECM to function in your vehicle.
Will I need to do anything after installing this ECM?
In most GM vehicles, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure after installation. This process syncs the new ECM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system and typically takes 10-30 minutes. It does not require any special tools and instructions can be easily found online for your specific model.

What is an ECM?
The ECM, or Engine Control Module, is the central computer of your vehicle. It controls critical functions like fuel injection, spark timing, and transmission shifting to ensure the engine runs efficiently and cleanly. When it fails, it can cause a wide range of serious operational problems.
