An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
“Many people assume you can just swap an engine computer from another truck. That’s a critical mistake with modern vehicles. The PCM is programmed for a specific vehicle’s options—like the transmission type, emissions equipment, and even tire size. Using a non-programmed or incorrectly programmed module will, at best, result in a check engine light and poor performance. At worst, the vehicle won’t start at all. Our VIN-programming service isn’t just a convenience; it’s the essential step that makes this a professional-grade, reliable repair.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after I install this PCM?
In most cases, you will need to perform a security relearn procedure, which can typically be done without special tools and takes about 30 minutes. Instructions are readily available online. Some vehicles may also require a Crankshaft Variation Relearn (CASE relearn) which requires a compatible scan tool to clear a specific trouble code, but the vehicle will run and drive without it.
