- Poor engine performance, hesitation, or misfires

A Technician’s Tip: Many owners of these GMT360 platform trucks are tempted to grab a used computer from a salvage yard. This rarely works. These PCMs are equipped with anti-theft systems (Passlock/VATS) that are tied directly to the original vehicle’s VIN. Our professional programming service not only loads the correct software for your engine and options but also syncs the module to your specific VIN, bypassing these anti-theft issues and ensuring a seamless, successful repair. This is not just any replacement; it’s the correct 2002 Bravada PCM for your specific vehicle.
