Restore Your GM Truck’s Performance and Reliability
Is your truck or van suffering from frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, erratic shifting, or a no-start condition? A failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit, acting as the brain of your vehicle’s engine and transmission. This replacement PCM is the definitive solution to get your trusted vehicle back on the road, running exactly as it should. We take the guesswork out of the repair by pre-programming this module specifically to your vehicle’s VIN, ensuring it’s ready for installation the moment it arrives.

Expert Insight: The Importance of Correct Programming
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless vehicle issues caused by improperly matched control modules. Simply pulling a unit from a salvage yard won’t work. Modern vehicles use the VIN to create a secure network between the PCM, the body control module, and the anti-theft system. Our VIN programming service isn’t just a convenience; it’s a critical step that ensures all these systems recognize each other and function together seamlessly. This programmed 16263494 PCM eliminates these compatibility headaches, saving you time, money, and the frustration of a vehicle that still won’t run right after the repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. We program the module to your specific VIN before shipping. It arrives ready to be installed. In most cases, you may only need to perform a simple security relearn procedure, which can be done without special tools and takes about 30 minutes. We can provide instructions for this process.
Where 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.
Will this fix my transmission shifting problems?
The PCM controls both engine and transmission functions. If your shifting issues are caused by faulty electronic commands from a failing module, then this part is very likely to be the correct solution. It will restore proper communication and shift point calculations.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a high-quality, fully tested replacement module that meets or exceeds original equipment specifications. Each unit is inspected and prepared by our technicians to ensure it provides lasting reliability for your vehicle.
How can I be sure this part fits my vehicle?
Please review the detailed fitment list on this page. The most critical step is to match one of the part numbers listed (e.g., 16263494, 16265035) to the number on your current module. Providing us with your VIN during checkout allows us to perform a final verification, guaranteeing you receive the correct, programmed 16263494 PCM for your truck or van.
