Expert Insight from the Garage
“With over 20 years turning wrenches, I’ve seen how a faulty ECM can cause a cascade of phantom issues that are nearly impossible to diagnose.

You’re not just buying a part; you’re buying a guaranteed, vehicle-specific solution that restores the factory-intended harmony between your engine and electronics.”

No. We handle all the programming before we ship the module. It will arrive flashed with the latest GM software and coded to your vehicle’s VIN. You will only need to perform a simple security relearn procedure, which typically involves turning the key on and off a few times. Instructions are readily available online for this process.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. You can add it as a note during checkout or reply to your order confirmation email. We cannot ship your part until we receive the VIN, as the programming is essential.
