Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this TCM after I receive it?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module to your truck’s specific VIN before we ship it. This makes the installation process much simpler, as it’s ready to go right out of the box without requiring expensive scan tools or a trip to a dealership.
Where is the TCM located on my 2003 Silverado 2500HD?
On the 2001-2005 Silverado and Sierra HD trucks, the Transmission Control Module is typically mounted on the driver’s side (LH) radiator fan shroud in the engine bay. This location makes it relatively accessible for replacement.
Is this the correct part for my Duramax diesel with the Allison transmission?
Yes, if your truck is a 2001-2005 model year and is equipped with the 5-speed Allison automatic transmission (RPO code M74), this TCM is the correct compatible part for both gasoline (8.1L) and diesel (6.6L Duramax) engine configurations.
What happens if I forget to provide my VIN?
Providing your VIN is a required step for this purchase. We cannot ship the module without programming it first, as it will not function correctly in your vehicle. Our system will prompt you for the VIN, and our team will reach out if we don’t receive it to prevent any delays.
How can I be certain my old TCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators of a failing TCM, a definitive diagnosis is always recommended. This can be done by a professional mechanic with a high-level scan tool that can check for communication with the module and specific transmission-related fault codes. This module is the solution for a confirmed faulty TCM.
