What information do you need from me after I order?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is essential for us to program the module correctly for your specific truck.
Will this fix my Check Engine Light?
If the Check Engine Light and associated fault codes are caused by a failing ECM, this part will resolve the issue. We always recommend having your vehicle properly diagnosed to confirm the ECM is the point of failure before ordering.

Your VIN can be found on a metal plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
