Get Your Work Van Back in Service with a Dependable TCM
Is your GMC Savana 2500 suffering from erratic shifting, getting stuck in gear, or throwing transmission codes?

This OEM-quality T42 TCM is the definitive solution, arriving pre-programmed to your van’s specific VIN.

Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If your work van is experiencing any of the following issues, a failing TCM is the most likely culprit. This module is engineered to resolve these problems directly:
- Harsh or Delayed Shifting: Abrupt, jerky gear changes or a noticeable lag when shifting out of park.
- Limp Mode Activation: The vehicle is stuck in a single gear (usually 2nd or 3rd) with significantly reduced power.
- Warning Lights: A persistent Check Engine Light or transmission warning light on your dash.
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): Common codes like P0700 (Transmission Control System Malfunction), P0750, or other solenoid-related faults.
- Poor Performance: A sudden drop in fuel efficiency, failure to upshift, or a feeling of the transmission slipping.

Expert Insight: The Real Cost of Downtime
We recently helped a contractor whose 2011 Savana 2500 was stuck in limp mode. Every day the van was down, he was losing jobs. The dealership quoted him a high price for a new module plus a full day for programming and installation. He ordered our pre-programmed 2006-2014 Savana 2500 transmission control module instead. It arrived the next day, and he installed it in under 30 minutes in his own driveway. His van was back on the road, and he was back to work that same afternoon, saving him over $500 and a full day of lost income. That’s the real-world value of a reliable, ready-to-install solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a VIN-programmed TCM mean?
It means we load your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the latest GM software onto the module before we ship it. This makes the module a perfect match for your van’s specific configuration, ensuring it works correctly immediately upon installation without any additional steps.

Installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. On most Savana vans, the TCM is located in the engine compartment on the right-hand side.
