Expert Insight: The Fleet Manager’s Fix
We recently worked with a small business owner whose 2000 Savana 2500 work van was dead in his lot. It would crank but not start, and his mechanic was stumped after replacing the fuel pump and crank sensor. The van was losing him money every day it sat. He ordered this programmed 16265035 PCM, gave us his VIN, and had the part in two days. He called back an hour after it was delivered to say the van fired right up and ran smoother than it had in years. He avoided a tow to the dealer and got his essential work vehicle back in service for a fraction of the cost and time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the module to work in your vehicle.
Will I need to do anything else after installing this PCM?
In most vehicles this part fits, installation is a simple plug-and-play process. However, some models may require a security relearn procedure (often called CASE relearn or Passlock relearn), which can typically be done without special tools. Instructions are widely available online for this simple procedure.
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
Please check the extensive list of compatible vehicles on this page. The most important step is to match the service number (16265035 or one of the compatible numbers listed) from your original module. Providing your VIN during checkout allows us to perform a final compatibility check for you.
Is this a new or a used part?
This is a professionally prepared, original equipment part that has been thoroughly tested and programmed with the latest vehicle-specific software. It is a reliable and cost-effective alternative to a new dealership part.
What is the benefit of the latest GM software?
Over the life of a vehicle, manufacturers often release software updates to fix bugs, improve transmission shifting logic, increase fuel efficiency, and enhance overall drivability. Our programmed 16265035 PCM includes these updates, often resulting in a vehicle that runs better than it has in years.
