1990 E150 Computer replacement #'s
Anyone in the know regarding the correct ECm to buy for my sons' 1990 E150 302? Or do you get the right number off the computer when you pull it?
I have never been able to get his truck to run/ shift smoothly, so I'm going to go with a new computer. As I've posted in the past he has all new ignition components and no codes, just like another post I read on here.
Ebay shows a couple different suppliers and #'s for the 1990 5.0 standard cargo.
Thanks for any help. Or suggestions where to buy.
He still loves his old shorty so I keep working on it.

Try this link first, Vanner. Maybe you can save the one in it.

Hi again Jim, good to see you are still here.
Yes I definitely will take it apart (can't help myself, lol) and see what's going on in there.
That is another of the fine reads available here.
I just wasn't sure what numbers people look for. Or even VIN numbers right?

I just looked outside, it's starting to rain again, so I don't have to rush.
I learn something every time I sign on here and have the urge to go check it, try it or do it.
Cash flow is the only thing keeping the flleet down right now.

I reconditioned the computer with capacitors from the 'net'. I actually was surprised I got it back together and working. It is shifting a bit smoother, but I feel a miss. My son is jumping on the road tonite to Washington with balding tires, a rough running truck (in my opinion), and an incomplete registration due to not getting a smog check.
I suspect it is the last time we'll see the van because I am not paying for a long distance tow from two states away. The folly of youth.
Edit; oh yeah, the brake warning light keeps coming on.
