Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Truck’s Transmission
Experiencing harsh, erratic shifting, a check engine light, or a “Service Transmission” message on your dash? A faulty Transmission Control Module (TCM) can sideline even the most capable trucks, causing immense frustration and costly downtime. Your Sierra or Silverado is a workhorse, and you depend on its smooth power delivery. This VIN-programmed Transmission Control Module is the definitive solution to restore the crisp, reliable shifting you expect, getting you back on the road and back to work with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Direct Solution
A failing TCM can manifest in various ways, often starting subtly and worsening over time. If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your module needs attention:
- Abrupt, harsh, or delayed gear changes
- Vehicle stuck in one gear (limp mode)
- Flashing “Service Transmission Soon” or Check Engine Light
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P0700, P0751, U0101, or other transmission-related faults
- Complete loss of communication with the transmission module
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take a genuine GM module and flash it with the very latest, most stable software release from the manufacturer, specifically matched to your vehicle’s unique VIN. This process ensures your new programmed 24296206 TCM communicates flawlessly with your truck’s other systems, restoring original performance and eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming.

From the Technician’s Bench: The GM 10-speed transmission (10L80/10L90) is a sophisticated piece of engineering. Its performance is heavily dependent on the TCM’s software. We’ve seen countless trucks come in with persistent shifting problems that couldn’t be solved by fluid changes or mechanical parts. In a vast majority of cases, the root cause was an outdated or failing TCM. Simply swapping the module isn’t enough; without the correct, VIN-matched software, the transmission will never perform correctly. By installing a properly programmed 24296206 TCM, you’re not just replacing a part—you’re giving the transmission’s brain the correct information it needs to manage every shift perfectly, protecting the internal components from unnecessary wear.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VIN programming process work?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians use this number to access the official GM database and load the exact software calibration file for your specific vehicle configuration. This ensures the programmed 24296206 TCM works seamlessly upon installation.
Is this a new part?
This is a genuine, high-quality component that has been meticulously inspected and prepared to meet strict performance standards. It is then loaded with new, vehicle-specific software directly from the manufacturer’s database.
Will I need to do any additional programming after installation?
No. The module is shipped fully programmed and ready for installation. In most cases, a simple idle relearn procedure may be beneficial, but no special scan tools or dealer intervention is required.
What happens if I provide the wrong VIN?
Providing the correct VIN is critical. An incorrect VIN will result in the wrong software being loaded, and the module will not function correctly in your vehicle. Please double-check your VIN before sending it to us to avoid any delays or issues.
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 located on the sticker in the driver’s side door jamb.
The listing shows multiple part numbers. Which one will I receive?
You will receive a module that is 100% compatible with your vehicle. Part numbers 24042698, 24043411, 24043413, 24289415, and 24296206 are all interchangeable service numbers for this TCM. We ship based on current inventory, but guarantee it will be the correct, programmed part for the application.
