An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
For these late-90s GM vehicles, the PCM is more than just an engine controller; it’s the central command center. It’s tied directly to the anti-theft system (VATS/Passlock), transmission shift points, and emissions equipment. Simply swapping a module from another vehicle won’t workโit will trigger the security system and the engine won’t start. Our VIN programming service ensures this Programmed 16250279 PCM communicates flawlessly with all other systems in your truck, making the installation process as simple as possible and guaranteeing a successful repair.
Don’t let a bad computer keep your workhorse off the road. This is the most efficient and reliable way to solve your vehicle’s electronic brain teaser. By providing your VIN at checkout, you ensure you receive a fully compatible Programmed 16250279 PCM that’s ready to restore your vehicle’s health right out of the box.
