Get Your Silverado Back on the Job, Fast.
A work truck that can’t shift is a tool that can’t work. If your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 is suffering from harsh, erratic shifting, getting stuck in gear, or flashing a check engine light, you’re losing time and money. This genuine GM T42 Transmission Control Module (TCM), service number 24252114, is the direct-fit, no-hassle solution to restore the crisp, reliable shifting performance your truck needs to get back to work. We pre-program it to your truck’s specific VIN, so it arrives ready for a true plug-and-play installation, getting you back on the road without a costly trip to the dealership.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing TCM can bring your entire operation to a halt. This module is the definitive fix for common and frustrating transmission problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time for a replacement:
- Harsh, banging shifts or delayed gear engagement.
- Vehicle is stuck in “limp mode” (usually 2nd or 3rd gear).
- The check engine light or transmission warning light is on.
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P0700, P0750, or other solenoid-related faults.
- Inability to upshift or downshift properly, leading to poor fuel economy.
Installing this professionally programmed 2007 Silverado 2500 T42 TCM directly addresses these issues at their source, restoring the intelligent communication between your engine and transmission.

Expert Insight: The Power of Proper Programming
For a heavy-duty truck like the Silverado 2500, the TCM’s programming isn’t just about shifting gears—it’s about protecting your transmission. The VIN-specific software ensures the transmission uses the correct hydraulic line pressures and shift strategies for your truck’s 6.0L engine and 4L80E transmission. This prevents premature clutch wear and overheating, especially under heavy loads. A generic or improperly programmed module can cause long-term damage. Our process ensures your 2007 Silverado 2500 T42 TCM performs exactly as the factory intended, safeguarding your investment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a VIN-programmed TCM mean?
It means we load the module with the specific software and calibration files from General Motors that match your truck’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This makes the module a direct plug-and-play part, as it’s already configured to communicate perfectly with your truck’s engine computer and other systems, ensuring optimal performance right out of the box.
Is this a difficult part to install?
No, this is a straightforward installation for a DIYer with basic tools. On the 2007 Silverado, the TCM is typically located next to the battery in the engine compartment. Simply disconnect the battery, unplug the electrical connectors from the old module, unbolt it, and install the new one. The entire process usually takes less than 30 minutes.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general fault code indicating the TCM has detected a problem. While this module often resolves the root cause (such as an internal TCM failure), it’s important to have the vehicle scanned for other specific codes (like solenoid faults) that P0700 may be pointing to. In many cases, replacing a faulty 2007 Silverado 2500 T42 TCM will clear this and related codes after installation.
Do I need to send my old TCM back?
No. We do not require a core return for this part. You can keep or dispose of your old module without any additional charges or hassle.
How do I know this is the correct part for my truck?
This T42 TCM is the correct module for the 2007 Silverado 2500 HD (new body style) with the 6.0L gas engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission (4L80E).
