Texas FAQ

Common questions from customers shipping from Texas.

How long does shipping take from Texas to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Houston, TX reaches our Arlington workshop in about 1 business day. USPS Priority routes through the North Texas distribution network; 1 day from most of the state. 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 ecu immo-off (e98 / e80 / e82 / e84) modules from Texas?
Yes — we receive modules from Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin and the rest of Texas regularly. With about 22.8 million registered vehicles statewide, full-size pickups & SUVs are the bulk of what we see from Texas.
Is there a gm ecu immo-off (e98 / e80 / e82 / e84) shop in Houston I should use instead?
Most Houston shops don't keep the bench equipment for gm ecu immo-off (e98 / e80 / e82 / e84) — 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. Same-state — fastest possible round-trip.
Does Texas vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Texas ended its annual safety inspection for most non-commercial vehicles in 2025; emissions testing still applies in designated metro counties. Confirm current requirements with the Texas DMV. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Texas and federal requirements.
Will this let my swapped LS/LT run without the donor car's security?
Yes — that is exactly what the immobilizer-off does. It removes the anti-theft requirement so the E98/E80/E82/E84 runs standalone, which is what an LS/LT swap into an older or non-GM chassis needs. Your harness still has to provide power, ground, and the right inputs.
Is this a tune?
No — this is immobilizer removal only, not a calibration or performance tune. It makes the ECU run outside its original vehicle; it does not change fueling, timing, or emissions.
