I need help please

I have a 1995 ford f150 5.0 manual transmission truck and I can not find a ECM anywhere. I found a website called maks emc rebuilders and they have tried for 3 weeks now but they called me today and said every batch of ecm they get in will not program. Under 200 bucks would be amazing but all I've found is like 599 etc.

I need F4TF-12A650-AXA

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would be leery of a company that claims they are programming the computer. That isn’t how these OBD-I computers work.

ECMREBUILDERS.COM is the website, I don't know anything about them other than I need one and can not find one anywhere unless they reprogram them and it's 350 and up.

The ECM is not programmable. If they claim that they can do that then they should be able to take any computer and program it for you.

I don’t know where you are looking but I found three pretty quickly
