An Expert’s Note on Modern Transmissions
The 10-speed automatic transmission in your late-model GM truck is an incredibly sophisticated piece of engineering. Unlike older, simpler systems, it relies on constant, precise communication between the engine and transmission. The TCM is the brain of this operation. Using a generic or improperly programmed module can lead to poor performance, premature clutch wear, or even catastrophic transmission damage. Our VIN-specific programming ensures that all shift points, torque converter lockup strategies, and adaptive learning parameters are perfectly calibrated for your truck’s exact configuration right out of the box, ensuring longevity and peak performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send you my old TCM?
No, there is no core charge or need to send your original part to us. This is an outright purchase of a replacement module programmed for your vehicle.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, we will need the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from your truck. This is typically found on your driver’s side door jamb sticker or on the dashboard viewable through the windshield.
Is any additional programming required after installation?
While the critical programming is complete, some vehicles may require a simple “relearn” procedure after installation. This can often be done with a capable OBD2 scan tool or by following a specific driving cycle to allow the transmission to adapt to the new module. This is a standard part of the repair process for this component.
How do I know this fits my truck?
This module fits a range of GM trucks, including the 2020-2021 Silverado & Sierra 2500/3500. The most reliable way to ensure a perfect match is by providing us with your VIN. We use it to cross-reference the exact hardware and software your truck requires, guaranteeing a perfect fit for your 2020-2021 Silverado 3500 TCM Replacement and other compatible models.
Where is the TCM located on my truck?
On most 2019+ Silverado and Sierra models, the Transmission Control Module is located on the driver’s side (LH) core support, near the front of the engine bay.
