Need advice on buying a part...

I just wanted to have some opinions on getting a reman. ECM from Advance auto parts. Good, bad, indifferent? Just want to know if its junk and will need replacement in a month or will be off from day one. Thanks.

What's the alternative? I think you got to take your chances. I've had good stuff from PartsAmerica.com (Advanced Auto).

I could go through a dealer and pay more or a variety of other parts suppliers online, but if Advance ecms work fine, then Ill go that route. Just curious is all before I drop the money on the part.
