From a Seasoned Pro: The Cost of an Unreliable Truck
“I had a customer, a contractor, whose ’03 Sierra 3500 Dually was his mobile office and tool shed. It started having these bizarre intermittent no-start issues. He’d lose half a day’s work, and we couldn’t find the cause. We checked everythingโfuel system, wiring, sensors. Finally, we traced it to a failing PCM that wasn’t communicating properly when it got hot. Swapping in a pre-programmed module like this one wasn’t just a repair; it was an investment. His truck became reliable again, and he stopped losing jobs. Don’t let a faulty computer put your livelihood at risk.”
