Iowa FAQ

Common questions from customers shipping from Iowa.

How long does shipping take from Iowa to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Des Moines, IA reaches our Arlington workshop in about 2 business days. USPS Priority routes north through the Central network; typically 2 days. We start work the same day your module arrives and typically ship back next business day at the return speed you chose at checkout.

Do you accept gm ecm/pcm cloning (e-series) modules from Iowa?
Yes — we receive modules from Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Sioux City and the rest of Iowa regularly. With about 3.4 million registered vehicles statewide, full-size pickups & SUVs are the bulk of what we see from Iowa.
Is there a gm ecm/pcm cloning (e-series) shop in Des Moines I should use instead?
Most Des Moines shops don't keep the bench equipment for gm ecm/pcm cloning (e-series) — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-region north — about 2 days each way.
Does Iowa vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Iowa has no statewide periodic vehicle safety or emissions inspection program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Iowa and federal requirements.
How is this different from your supply-a-part programmed ECM or Global A unlock?
Our supply-a-part service sources the module for you and programs a replacement; this clone service copies YOUR existing module's identity onto a donor you provide. The Global A unlock service opens a controller for tuning — cloning is not a tune and does not add power. Tell us your situation and we'll point you to the right one.
Will this add power or delete the immobilizer?
No. This is an identity clone only — it carries your VIN, calibration, and anti-theft relationship onto a matching donor so it's plug-and-play. It does not tune the engine, add power, delete or bypass the immobilizer, or modify emissions equipment. It also does not program keys.
