An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
Why is VIN programming so critical? A generic, non-programmed computer from a salvage yard simply won’t work. Modern GM vehicles use a sophisticated anti-theft system (VATS/Passlock) that is tied directly to your truck’s VIN. Our programming service syncs this module to your vehicle, allowing it to start and run correctly. Furthermore, we load the precise fuel maps, transmission shift points, and emissions parameters for your truck’s specific engine and options. This isn’t just about making it run; it’s about making it run right.
