Is your trusty 1998 or 1999 GM truck, van, or SUV suddenly running rough, refusing to start, or throwing confusing check engine lights?

- Complete no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire up.
- Random stalling or engine shutting off while driving.
- Harsh, erratic, or delayed transmission shifting.
- Noticeable decrease in fuel economy.
- Check Engine Light with communication error codes or internal module failure codes (e.g., P0601, P0605).
- Security light staying on, preventing the engine from starting.

An Expert Tip for GM Owners
“Many DIYers try to save a few bucks by grabbing a computer from a salvage yard, only to find their truck still won’t start. On these late-90s GM vehicles, the PCM is tied to the security system (VATS/Passlock). A mismatched computer will trigger the anti-theft system and immobilize the engine. Our VIN programming service correctly pairs the module to your vehicle’s security signature, which is the critical step that makes this a true plug-and-play solution. It’s the difference between a quick fix and a week of headaches.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after I install it?
Yes. While the main programming is done, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure. This can typically be done without any special tools and involves a sequence of key turns. This syncs the new PCM with your vehicle’s existing anti-theft system. We can provide instructions for this simple process.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You can typically find this on your vehicle’s dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
