Default GM P04 change in 2004

In 2004 GM changed the P04 from Serv Nbr. 12583826 / HW Nbr 12582721 to Serv Nbr. 12583827 / HW Nbr 12582720.
Can anyone shed any light as to what actually changed between the Serv Nbr. 12583826 / HW Nbr 12582721 (P04) PCM and the Serv Nbr. 12583827 / HW Nbr 12582720 (P04) PCM?

Are these from PCM information tags?

12583826 shows up as a motor mount

Can you take pictures and post?

Näiden GM P04 PCM -yksiköiden (GM Powertrain Control Module P04) kohdalla tuollaiset service- ja hardware-numeroiden muutokset eivät yleensä tarkoita suurta rakenteellista eroa, vaan enemmänkin kalibrointipäivityksiä tai pieniä laite- ja valmistusmuutoksia. Vuoden 2004 vaihdoksessa GM teki usein tarkennuksia ohjelmistoon, kylmäkäynnin logiikkaan, päästöstrategioihin tai jopa komponenttitoimittajan muutoksiin, vaikka itse kotelo ja perusarkkitehtuuri pysyi samana. Käytännössä nämä kaksi versiota ovat yleensä ristiin yhteensopivia, mutta ohjelmointi ja VIN-yhteensopivuus ratkaisee lopullisen toimivuuden.

Adding Finnish-->English translation: For these GM P04 PCMs (GM Powertrain Control Module P04), such service and hardware number changes do not usually mean a major structural difference, but rather calibration updates or minor hardware and manufacturing changes. In the 2004 changeover, GM often made refinements to the software, cold start logic, emission strategies or even component supplier changes, even though the housing itself and the basic architecture remained the same. In practice, these two versions are usually cross-compatible, but programming and VIN compatibility determine the final functionality.

Thanks JeremiahHoward!
