If you have a manual tranny you have much greater choice of computer, but if you have an auto it's probably computer controlled and that means you need a specific 5.0 computer. Check your drivers door pillar for the tranny code, if it's E you have an E4OD.. the most common auto for the later trucks in this series.

You need a very specific computer, you can't just plug anything in there.

Why are you replacing it anyway?
