ecm computer problem
I have a 2000 ford f150 supercab I have replace engine with a new engine about 6 months ago and now my ecm computer fried out. The dealership told me there is a 6 mnths national backorder on this part. My mechanic located a few used ones from a salvage yard. It was put in and the computer was reflashed to match up to truck but 2 days later same problem occured. Computer is bad. Is this a coincidence of 2 computers going bad or is there a problem elsewhere. Need anybody input and help PLEASE

Look along the frame rails and wheel wells, I would suspect a wire was nicked or pinched when the motor was installed. The bad wire is probibly shorting to ground and overloading the PCM.
This is all guess work, because we don't know what the ECM is doing/not doing.
