Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Truck or SUV
Is your Silverado, Sierra, or other GM workhorse suffering from a persistent check engine light, erratic shifting, or a frustrating no-start condition? These are classic signs of a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the central computer that manages your engine and transmission. Don’t let a faulty module sideline your vehicle. This direct-fit, pre-programmed PCM is the definitive solution to get you back on the road quickly and with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing PCM can cause a cascade of problems that are often misdiagnosed. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your answer:
- Check Engine Light (CEL) Illumination: Often with communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0601, P0602, or P0606.
- Poor Engine Performance: Noticeable loss of power, hesitation during acceleration, and decreased fuel economy.
- Erratic Transmission Shifting: Harsh shifts, delayed engagement, or getting stuck in one gear.
