Get Your Heavy-Duty Truck Shifting Like New
A truck that won’t shift right isn’t just an annoyance; it’s a roadblock to getting the job done. If your 2001-2005 Silverado or Sierra HD is experiencing harsh shifts, getting stuck in gear, or throwing transmission codes, your Transmission Control Module (TCM) is the likely culprit. This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, pre-programmed solution designed to get your workhorse back on the road fast, without an expensive trip to the dealership for programming.

Expert Insight: The Brains Behind the Brawn
The Allison 1000 series transmission in your Silverado or Sierra HD is a legendary piece of equipment, known for its durability. However, the TCM is its electronic brain, and over time, heat cycles and vibrations can cause internal components to fail. Early signs are often subtle, but they can quickly escalate to a no-start or no-shift condition, leaving you stranded. Replacing a faulty module with a generic, un-programmed unit is a recipe for frustration. Our pre-flashed programmed 2001-2005 Silverado 2500 TCM ensures all the specific parameters for your truck’s powertrain are correctly loaded, making the installation process as seamless as possible and restoring the reliability your work demands.
Don’t let a faulty module dictate your truck’s performance. This is the straightforward, reliable solution to restore your transmission’s function and your confidence on the road. After your purchase, we will contact you for your VIN to begin the programming process for your programmed 2001-2005 Silverado 2500 TCM.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this module when I receive it?
No. The main benefit of this part is that we program it for you using your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it. It arrives ready for installation, with no extra programming required.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, we will contact you via email to request your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship the part until we have this information to complete the programming.
Will this fit my 2004 GMC Sierra 3500?
Yes, this TCM fits 2001-2005 Sierra 2500/3500 and Silverado 2500/3500 models equipped with the 5-speed Allison automatic transmission (RPO code M74). You can verify this by checking the service parts sticker in your glove box.
What if my original part number isn’t 15187104?
This module replaces many different service numbers. Please check the list provided in the description (e.g., 15768288, 15071240, 29537441, etc.). As long as your original service number is on that list, this part is the correct replacement.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The TCM is located on the driver’s side of the transmission fan shroud. Installation requires basic hand tools to disconnect the electrical connectors and mounting bolts. While many DIY-ers can perform the swap, we always recommend professional installation if you are not comfortable with automotive repair.
