PCM part #/cal code

A little backstory I’m trying to find replacement for my PCM. The previous owner had replaced the PCM with the help of others on forum appears to be a cardone reman. I’m unsure if it is correct part # for my truck and I have called ford dealer and tried researching myself for the replacement but everywhere I have asked just says they need the OEM part # off original PCM, which as stated above is not available to me. If anyone on here has access/ or a way to get the proper part # using vin and cal code that would be awesome, or at least point me in direction that I could do so. When I called ford dealer they gave me 8 options using the VIN and said the cal code would not help them narrow it done.

my truck is a 1996 f250 5.8 with e4od

Roger that so it would F6UF 12A650-N for a replacement if I’m reading that correctly

F6UF-12A650-NB is the part number, which matches the cardone unit you have.

F6UF-12A650-N is the engineering number. Ford puts engineering numbers on parts, not part numbers. No idea why.

I would say the correct computer was selected based on the calibration code.

The tear tag we used to call it needs to match
That's the actual calibration for the processor
Yours is SSC
