July Contest Winner: Linc’s 1999 GMC 1500 Passlock Fix

Our monthly contest winner for July is Linc Thomas from Florida and his 1999 GMC 1500. Like most people who visit our website, Linc went out one day to start his truck only to find that it would start for a few seconds, then turn itself off. So he started searching around the web and found us here at NEWROCKIES Inc. After reading through our website and educating himself on GM’s security system, he decided that Passlock had to be the problem β€” and that we had the perfect and final solution to fix it.

A Passlock No-Start With a Fishing Trip on the Line

Linc wasn’t just fighting a no-start problem β€” he had a fishing trip to Lake Okeechobee riding on getting his truck fixed in time.

β€œJust wanted to thank you for such an amazing product. Your NEWROCKIES PRO Module saved my fishing trip! I ordered the PRO Module and it was delivered to my house in 3 days! Installation was simple and the instructions were accurate. I thought I was going to have to cancel my fishing trip to Okeechobee this weekend, but now I am confident to take the truck anywhere. Thanks again!”

β€” Linc Thomas

An Easy Install, Delivered in Days

Like Linc found, the PRO Module ships fast and installs with just a handful of wire connections β€” no dealer trip and no reprogramming headaches.
