Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VIN programming process work?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, you provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Our technicians use this number to access the specific GM software for your car and flash it directly onto the TCM. This ensures the module works seamlessly with your engine and transmission as soon as it’s installed.

Do I need any special tools for installation?
No special programming tools are required. The installation involves basic hand tools to disconnect the battery, access the old TCM, unbolt it, swap the electrical connectors, and install the new one. The most important partโthe software configurationโis already done for you.
What happens if I forget to provide my VIN?
