Source for PCM replacement?

Thinking I need to replace my PCM, along with my windshield. Anyone know of a good RELIABLE source for PCMs? I can get from Ford but would prefer not to get bent over if at all possible.

What makes you think you need to replace it? DP Tuner may be able to hook you up with something. Also most use Auto Computer Exchange and have pretty good luck from what I have read.

Yes, what Ken said. I bought one from DP Tuner years back, price was right and he can throw a tune in there if you want.

DP Tuner doesn't sell PCMs anymore, called them this morning....I think I need to replace it because after sitting in the rain all day every day for a week, the fuel gauge is all over the place, the stereo doesn't turn off, the obdII port is dead, the door open indicator randomly comes on, and the keyless entry remote doesn't work anymore. My truck smells like a wet dog after it rains. I haven't been able to find a leak yet, but from posts on here the behind the windshield leak is pretty common...

I would get the windshield leak taken care of and then worry about the PCM or what I believe may be your issue, the VSM. They may dry out and be fine.
