Frequently Asked Questions
What is the process after I place my order?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship the module until we receive this information. Once we have your VIN, we will program the ECM with the latest GM software specific to your truck and ship it out to you.
Is this ECM truly “plug and play”?
Yes. Because we program it to your VIN, it will not require any additional programming from a dealer. In some cases, a Crankshaft Position Sensor Relearn procedure may be required, which can be done with a capable scan tool. This is a simple procedure for most automotive shops if you are unable to perform it yourself.
Will this fix my check engine light?
This module will resolve any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) directly caused by a failing ECM, such as internal processor failure codes. It is crucial to properly diagnose your vehicle first, as this part will not fix issues related to other faulty sensors or mechanical problems.
How do I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your VIN can be found on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield). It is also commonly found on the sticker in the driver’s side door jamb.
Does this fit vehicles other than the Sierra?
Yes, this ECM is also a direct fit for the 2011 Silverado 2500 & 3500 with the 6.0L engine, as well as the 2011 Cruze with the 1.4L engine. Our VIN programming ensures it functions correctly for the specific model you provide.
