An Expert’s Note on Allison TCMs
As a technician, I’ve seen countless owners spend thousands on transmission work when the real problem was a faulty TCM. These modules are the brains of the operation, and when they fail, they can send all sorts of confusing signals. The most critical step is the programming. An improperly programmed module will never work correctly. That’s why we handle this for you. By flashing this 2001-2005 Allison TCM with your truck’s VIN before it ships, we take all the guesswork out of the repair. You’re not just buying a part; you’re buying a complete, reliable solution that gets the job done right the first time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take this part to a dealer for programming?
Absolutely not. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it. It will arrive ready to install, saving you the time, hassle, and expense of a dealership visit.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, we will contact you to request your VIN. We cannot ship the module until we have this information to ensure it is programmed correctly for your specific truck.
Is this a brand new part from GM?
This is a quality-inspected, fully functional component that has been tested and programmed with the latest software updates. It is guaranteed to restore your vehicle’s transmission function to proper working order.
Will I need to do a transmission relearn procedure?
While the module is plug-and-play, your Allison transmission has adaptive learning. For best results, we recommend driving the vehicle normally for 20-30 minutes, allowing the transmission to adapt to the new module and refine its shift points.
How can I confirm this fits my truck?
This part fits 2001-2005 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 & 3500 pickups with the 5-speed Allison automatic transmission (RPO code M74). You can also match one of the service numbers listed in the description (like 15169835) to your original part.
What does the warranty cover?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. In the unlikely event of a failure within one year of purchase, we will provide a replacement unit.
