Replacement ECM

I need to replace my ECM and want to know by brand which replacement brand I should get. What is a good brand that some of you would recommend? Thanks

Hard to say. They will all be a GM ECM. Just a re-man from various re-manufacturers.

Be sure to swap your MEMCAL over to the replacement ECM.

RBob,

There are two that I am looking at from Advance Auto. BWD and Cardone. So I can get either one as they both will be remanfactures from GM correct?

The one you brought from Ebay how did it work out for you? I am afraid that I may get a bum deal and be out of my hard earn cash.
