An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
A common mistake is installing a generic, non-programmed TCM from a salvage yard or parts store. These units are not calibrated for your vehicle’s specific engine, tire size, and axle ratio. This leads to communication errors, incorrect shifting, and can even trigger new trouble codes. Our VIN-specific programming for this VIN programmed T42 transmission control module ensures the module speaks the exact same language as your truck’s engine controller and other systems from the moment you plug it in, guaranteeing optimal performance and reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take this part to a dealer for programming?
No. This module arrives at your door fully pre-programmed to your vehicle’s VIN. It is a true plug-and-play solution, requiring no further calibration or dealership visits.
Where is the TCM located on my 2008 Silverado 1500?
On most 2007-2013 Silverado and Sierra 1500 models, the TCM is conveniently located in the engine compartment, right next to the battery. Always disconnect the battery’s negative terminal before starting the replacement.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general fault request from the TCM to the main engine computer. While this module often resolves the underlying solenoid or control circuit faults that trigger a P0700, you should always diagnose any other specific codes that are present to ensure a complete repair.
What tools are required for installation?
Installation is straightforward and typically requires only basic hand tools, such as a socket set and ratchet, to remove the mounting bolts and disconnect the electrical connectors. The entire process usually takes less than 30 minutes.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge required. You can keep your old part without the hassle of returning it, making the process simpler and more convenient for you.
