Expert Insight from a 20-Year Technician
I’ve seen countless DIYers and even professional shops get tripped up by installing a generic, un-programmed computer. They’ll put it in, and the truck still won’t start because the anti-theft system isn’t matched. Or, it’ll start but shift erratically because it doesn’t have the right transmission data. Getting a module that is pre-flashed to your specific VIN is the single most important step for a successful repair. It turns a potentially complex electronic job into a straightforward component swap, getting you back to work or back to your family faster.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I place my order?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. You can typically add this in the notes section at checkout or reply to your order confirmation email. We cannot program and ship your module without the VIN. Once we have it, we program the unit and ship it out to you.
Will I need to do anything after installing this PCM?
In many cases, a security relearn procedure may be required after installation. This is a simple process that typically involves turning the key on and off in a specific sequence and can be done by you without any special tools. We include instructions for this procedure. This is a normal part of the process that syncs the new PCM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system.
How do I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your VIN can be found on a metal plate on the driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Is this the correct part for my vehicle?

What does the PCM actually do?
The Powertrain Control Module is the central computer of your vehicle. It controls all aspects of the engine and transmission, such as fuel injection, ignition timing, spark, and transmission shift points, to ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and emissions.
