An Expert’s Note on Getting it Done Right
“I had a local contractor with a 2003 Silverado 2500 that was his primary work truck. It would randomly stall at intersections, making it unreliable and dangerous. He was worried about losing jobs. After diagnosing a failing PCM, we installed one of these VIN-programmed units. The installation was straightforward, and the truck fired right up and ran smoother than it had in years. He was back on the road the same afternoon, confident his truck wouldn’t let him down again. That’s the value of a properly programmed, quality part – it’s not just about fixing a vehicle, it’s about restoring a livelihood.”
Don’t let a faulty module keep your vehicle sidelined. By providing us with your VIN at checkout, you ensure that the 2003 Express 1500 PCM 12576106 you receive is perfectly matched to your vehicle’s factory specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this module?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN when you order, and the module will arrive ready to be installed and used immediately.
Where is the PCM located on my 2003 Express Van?
On the 2003 Chevy Express and GMC Savana vans, the Electronic Control Module is typically located in the left-hand (driver’s side) rear of the engine compartment.
What is a “CASE Relearn” and will I need to perform one?
A Crankshaft Variation (CASE) Relearn may be required after installation to sync the new PCM with your engine’s crankshaft position sensor. This procedure helps prevent a Check Engine Light for code P1336 and can be performed by most professional scan tools. It is a recommended final step for a perfect installation.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we have this information to complete the programming.
Is this part compatible with my 2003 Sierra 2500?
Yes, this PCM is compatible with a wide range of 2003 GM vehicles, including the Sierra 2500/3500 (with 8.1L gasoline engine), Silverado, Suburban, Avalanche 2500, and more. The VIN programming ensures it works correctly for your specific model.
What does the warranty cover?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, which covers the part itself in the event of failure during the warranty period.
