Frequently Asked Questions
What does ‘VIN Programmed’ actually mean for me?
It means we take your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) during checkout and flash the module with the specific software for your truck’s exact configuration (engine, axle ratio, tire size). This makes the installation a simple plug-and-play process, with no additional tools or dealer visits required.
Is this part difficult to install myself?
Not at all for someone with basic mechanical skills. On most 2007-2013 Silverados, the TCM is located in the engine compartment next to the battery. The process typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, unbolting the old module, and installing the new one. The entire job can usually be done in under 30 minutes.
Will this fix my P0700 check engine light code?
A P0700 code is a general fault code indicating the TCM has detected a problem. Often, a failing TCM is the root cause. Replacing the faulty module with this new programmed unit will resolve the underlying issue. After installation, you should use a basic scan tool to clear any stored codes from the vehicle’s memory.
How do I know if this is the right part for my truck?
This module, service number 24238856, is the correct fit for a wide range of GM vehicles, including the 2007-2013 Silverado 1500 TCM. It is also interchangeable with other part numbers like 24252114, 24234503, and 24256960.

Do I need to return my old TCM?
No. We do not require you to return your old part. There is no core charge associated with this purchase, saving you time and return shipping costs.
