Get Your Truck Back to Peak Performance
Is your truck or van plagued by a persistent check engine light, erratic performance, or a frustrating no-start condition? A failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit, acting as the brain of your vehicle’s engine and transmission. This replacement module is the definitive solution to restore the power and reliability you depend on. We take the guesswork out of the repair by pre-programming this unit specifically to your vehicle’s VIN with the latest factory software updates. This ensures a seamless installation process, getting you back on the road or to the job site without the hassle and expense of a dealership visit.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, a faulty engine computer is the likely cause. This module is engineered to resolve them:

- Engine misfires, stumbling, or stalling unexpectedly.
- Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- Reduced fuel economy and overall poor engine performance.
- Complete no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire up.

An Expert’s Note: Many people try to save a few dollars by pulling a module from a salvage yard, only to find their truck still won’t start. That’s because of the factory anti-theft system (VATS/Passlock). A used module is locked to the original vehicle’s VIN and security key. Our process completely bypasses that headache. By programming the module to your VIN before it ships, we ensure it communicates perfectly with your truck’s existing components, making the repair as straightforward as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming after I install it?
No. This module arrives fully programmed to your VIN and is ready to install. In some cases, a Security/CASE relearn procedure may be required, which can be done without special tools and instructions can be easily found online for your specific model.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information.
Where is the PCM located on my vehicle?
The location varies. On many GM trucks and SUVs like the Yukon, Suburban, and Silverado, it’s found in the engine compartment on the driver’s side, often under the battery tray. On vans like the Express and Savana, it’s typically on the driver’s side of the rear engine compartment.
Will this work if my vehicle has modifications?
This module is programmed with standard factory calibration. It is not designed for vehicles with significant performance modifications like aftermarket camshafts, forced induction, or non-stock injectors. It is intended for stock or lightly modified vehicles.
