From the Shop Floor: The 5-speed Allison 1000 is a legendary transmission, but its brain is the TCM. In the early 2000s models, heat cycles and vibrations take their toll on the module’s internal electronics. We’ve seen countless trucks come in with what seems like a major transmission failure, only to find the TCM is the culprit. A fresh, properly programmed module doesn’t just fix the problem; it often improves shift quality thanks to the updated software, making your truck feel more responsive, especially when towing. This is the correct fix to protect your investment in that heavy-duty drivetrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this TCM programmed by a dealer?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it to you. This makes it a plug-and-play installation, saving you the time, cost, and hassle of a dealership visit.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You can typically add it as a note during checkout or send it to us in a message referencing your order number. We cannot ship the part until we have your VIN.
What are the most common signs of a failing TCM?
The most common symptoms include your truck going into ‘limp mode’ (stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear), harsh or erratic shifting, the check engine light being on with transmission codes, and sometimes a complete failure to shift. This 2001-2005 Silverado 2500 Transmission Control Module is designed to fix these exact issues.
Will this fit my 2004 GMC Sierra 3500 with the Allison transmission?
Yes, it will. This module fits the 2001-2005 Silverado 2500/3500 and Sierra 2500/3500 pickups that are equipped with the 5-speed Allison automatic transmission (RPO code M74).
Is any other setup required after installation?
In most cases, no additional setup is required. Once installed, it’s a good practice to clear any old diagnostic trouble codes from the vehicle’s computer system. The new TCM will then communicate properly with the other vehicle modules.
