Get Your Heavy-Duty Truck Shifting Like New
Is your 2001-2005 Silverado or Sierra HD struggling with harsh shifts, getting stuck in gear, or throwing frustrating transmission codes?

This VIN-programmed TCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore the crisp, reliable performance your Allison transmission is known for, getting you back on the road and back to work without an expensive trip to the dealership.

Expert Insight from the Shop Floor: Don’t underestimate the importance of VIN-specific programming. We’ve seen countless trucks come in with generic or incorrectly flashed modules that cause more problems than they solve. A generic flash doesn’t account for your truck’s specific axle ratio or tire size calibrations. Our process ensures the 2001-2005 Silverado Sierra TCM we send you is an exact match for your vehicle’s factory specifications, ensuring flawless communication between the engine and transmission from the moment you install it. It’s the difference between a temporary fix and a lasting repair.
