THere are different ones depending on what year, model etc your truck is.
What is it that you are looking to get extra from a different PCM?
Years ago when I first got my chip, I noticed that the Cruise Control indicator on the dash was lighting up when it didn't before. However...the engine "clatteerd" quite a bit more. I asked about this and the chip had to be re-programmed as it was set for a late 99 and not an early 99. Once I got it back, the indicator didn't work anymore but the truck ran alot better.
There is a base that each model, build has to follow. Getting a different PCM for a different model may not work. The E99s have a different turbo than the late 99s. So that is going to change the way the engine runs. And I think the injectors are different.
This is why I ask... What are you looking to get in addtional features?

I have seen many guys on here with E99s that have "upped" their injectors and done tunes without changing the PCM. Maybe I missed something and that is possible but I dont see where you would need to change the PCM. If you are getting tunes, (I am assuming a chip add-on), then the chip tells the PCM how to react to the new sticks.
EIther way...here is a link to a list of PCMS for different years and such. May help...
