End Your Transmission Troubles for Good
Is your Silverado, Tahoe, or Sierra suffering from harsh, erratic shifting, getting stuck in gear, or flashing a check engine light? A failing Transmission Control Module (TCM) can bring your vehicle to a standstill, causing immense frustration and disrupting your daily life. This VIN-programmed GM T42 TCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your transmission’s performance and get you back on the road with confidence. It arrives ready to install, with no expensive dealership programming required.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, a faulty TCM is the likely culprit. This module is engineered to resolve these exact problems:
- Abrupt, harsh, or delayed gear shifts
- Vehicle stuck in “limp mode” (usually 2nd or 3rd gear)
- Active Check Engine Light or Transmission Warning Light
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P0700, P0750, or other solenoid-related faults
- Failure to upshift or downshift, leading to poor acceleration and fuel economy
- Complete loss of communication with the transmission
Installing our 24234274 programmed transmission control module is the most effective way to permanently fix these symptoms and restore the smooth, reliable operation you expect from your GM vehicle.

An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
“We see it all the time: a customer buys a generic, non-programmed module online, installs it, and the truck still won’t shift correctly. That’s because the TCM is the ‘brain’ of the transmission, and it needs to speak the exact same language as the rest of your vehicle’s computers. Our VIN programming process ensures that communication is perfect from the moment you plug it in. We load the latest GM software specific to your vehicle, which not only guarantees function but often corrects factory flaws you didn’t even know you had. This isn’t just a part; it’s a complete solution.”
This 24234274 programmed transmission control module is a direct replacement for a wide range of GM vehicles from 2006 to 2014, including popular trucks, vans, and SUVs. By ensuring the core electronic component of your transmission is functioning perfectly, you prevent further mechanical wear and tear, saving you from more costly repairs down the road. Don’t let a faulty TCM dictate when and how you can drive. Take control of your repair with a reliable, pre-programmed solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you place your order, you will be prompted to provide your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the part until we have this information, as each module is uniquely programmed for a specific vehicle.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a straightforward installation that often takes less than 30 minutes. The TCM is typically located in the engine compartment. Always disconnect the battery before beginning work. After installation, use a scan tool to clear any stored diagnostic codes.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general fault code indicating the TCM has detected a problem. While this 24234274 programmed transmission control module often resolves the root cause, it’s essential to have the vehicle scanned for other, more specific codes (like solenoid or sensor faults) to confirm the TCM is the primary point of failure.
Is a core charge required?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module without the hassle of returning it.
What happens if I continue driving with a bad TCM?
Continuing to drive with a faulty TCM can lead to poor fuel economy, unsafe driving conditions (like getting stuck in gear), and can cause excessive wear and irreversible damage to the internal mechanical parts of your transmission, leading to a much more expensive repair.
