You can get a replacement at a junkyard for less, and it may not require programming, but you never know what you are getting for junkyard parts. |
I've used Napa twice for the ECM on my truck.
About $250.00 with programming. (I got a discount on the unit, plus $125.00 to flash the program; Napa did the whole set-up)
If you buy a salvage yard unit, you'd better get it from the exact same vehicle as yours, otherwise certain options may not work.
These ECMs are used on a variety of vehicles, including Tahoes, S10s, asnd so on (with differnet 3nignes like 4 cyl, 6 cyl, and 8 cylinders)
If you "do-it-yourself", do not forget to remove the knock sensor off the bottom of the ECM. Remanufactured units don't come with it.
