An Expert’s Diagnostic Tip
From over 20 years of experience, I can tell you that on these LLY Duramax trucks, it’s crucial to inspect the main engine wiring harness, especially where it routes over the alternator bracket. Chafing in this area can cause shorts that mimic ECM failure. Before condemning your old module, take a moment to carefully inspect this harness for any signs of wear or exposed wiring. A simple repair here can sometimes save you a lot of trouble. If the harness is good, this ECM is your next step to a reliable fix.
Don’t let a faulty computer keep your truck sidelined. This is the most reliable and straightforward way to solve complex electronic issues and get your Silverado or Sierra back to work. Ordering our 2004-2005 Silverado Sierra Diesel ECM 15292913 is the first step toward a dependable truck you can count on day in and day out.
