Is Your Suburban’s Transmission Acting Unpredictable?
A 2007-2008 Chevrolet Suburban is the cornerstone of family life and heavy-duty tasks, but when the transmission starts to fail, it can sideline your plans and create serious stress. Experiencing harsh, banging shifts, getting stuck in ‘limp mode’ far from home, or seeing that dreaded Check Engine light can ruin your confidence in your vehicle. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a reliability issue you can’t afford to ignore. Restore the smooth, dependable performance your family relies on with our pre-programmed T42 Transmission Control Module (TCM).

Installation is straightforward and typically requires only basic hand tools, such as a socket set to disconnect the battery and remove the module’s mounting bolts. The entire process can usually be completed in under 30 minutes.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general transmission fault request from the TCM to the main engine computer (ECM) to turn on the check engine light. While the P0700 itself is generic, it is almost always triggered by a more specific fault within the transmission system that a new, functioning TCM is designed to correct.
