ECM Replacement question?

Im having a suspected problem with my ECM computer and Ive been browsing sites for a good price on one ........ I came across this site with really good prices but Im not sure about the info attached ...... What exactly does it mean by this copy and paste:

Additional Description: w/Calibration 5-90A; Parameter Reset May Be Reqd After Install if;Modified Vehicle; Emission Calibration\Tear Tag On Front Door Jams, in;Trunk, or Under Hood; Calibration Pre-Flashed at Factory; Years:1995-1995; Per Car Qty:1

Auto Parts Giant - Discount Auto Part Online

I need to know that it will interface with my truck without having to take it in for reprogramming .... can anyone help me with clarification on this info??

My truck is a 95 F250 4x4 auto tranny, supercab 7.3 ltr Powerstroke.
I also have a superchips 1705 programmer .... will this be able to flash the ECM up to standard?

what is your truck doing that requires a new processor, they are not a typical failure

Im having a major no start situation here and going through the process of elimanation its one of the posibilities that may be failing ...... Because I live in the islands there are no modern testing facility here and so Im replacing until I solve the problem.

This may be a redundant question but, have you checked the cam sensor ?

Yes I have checked it .... I actually have 3 of them and Ive used all of them to check .... I greased them all with dielectric grease, Im pretty sure its not the problem.
I really gotta tell you here that I think im a pretty smart guy with mechanics ... Ive rebuilt several gasoline engines including 2 marine engines ... Im my whole life I have never called a mechanic to do anything for me when it comes to auto engine repair ..... But MAN!! ....this seeming small issue here has me stumped .... Its one of the greatest chalenges Ive ever come across..... the only 2 things Im uncertain about are the HPOP and the ECM (computer) ... If I change them and still nothing Maybe I'll stand in the middle of the street and give the keys to the first person willing to tow it out of my yard!!
