PCM at AutoZone

Hello, I saw at AutoZone they have PCM with different price range. Is there anyone who can give me their opinion on buying something like that by AutoZone.
Next, would it need to be program to match my vehicle. VIN, motor type and the number of the old PCM?
If anyone can help with this.

Regards

K Leerdam

OEM is the way to go, but its not for everyone.

A new PCM is blank and needs to be programmed.

The auto parts store PCMs and FICM are highly likely to need programming.

I'd recommend all computer resources or circuit board medics if you need a PCM or FICM for a 6.0. They come programmed so all they need is your VIN.
