We have a:

BCM = Body Control Module.
ECM = Engine Control Module.
TCM = Transmission Control Module.
PCM = Powertrain Control Module (Used prior to our vehicles which was basically an ECM and a TCM together).
EBCM = Electronic Brake Control Module (For ABS equipped vehicles).

And there are others that aren't important.

Holy cow. You're working backwards. There are multiple pn's for each of the modules that ChevyMgr called out, depending on year, trim level, motor, trans, production run, etc.

I think a TCM, by an internet search. I wont' know until Monday because I have the weekend off. Yay!!

If it is mounted where the ECM is it's a TCM if it's a BCM it's the interior electrical center (fuse box).

Mike give me your last 8 of the VIN and I will find out what part number BCM and TCM you should have.
