Finally fixed?

Ok. So after all the ecm troubles I've had,I think it's fixed. More like hope it's fixed. The nice lady at oreillys ordered a cardone ecm instead of the oem brand. It started,ran and drove parfect. I couldn't be happier. I guess only time will tell but so far it's amazing. Thanks to all of you guys thet helped or commented on this.

You did good by buying it at O' reillys. It should come with a year warranty so you can exchange it immediately if needed. There are no OEM PCM's. If you went to Ford they would sell you the Cardone unit. I have bought three of them from o'rieilly and all is good. Sandy

It's actually a manufacturer that remans auto electronics. When I think of OEM. I think original equipment. Not the case with these guys. It's just a name for them that makes people think it's original equipment.

Right. OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer ECM is called the PCM in Fords. As I said, Ford sells Cardone units as there are no new OEM units for sale for our trucks. Sandy

Well I know that much. Lol. But the aftermarket ecm's I've had problems with were remanufactured by a company by the name OEM. I think it's to give the consumers the impression that it's original equipment. But it is far from original equipment.

Pretty clever of them but very misleading as you said. Sandy
