From what I've seen most of the PCM's are interchangeable if they are the same configuration for TESTING PURPOSES. If you use an older PCM in a newer truck like mine, the guages won't work since they are bus communication and a couple of other things won't work right, but I've heard guys that have done this to test the starting.
The computer type and programming code are important. You have to stay within the same computer familiy, programming revisions can vary. PMT1 and PMT2 are programming code on a DPC 422 pcm.
For isntance mine is a DPC 462, and I can use vdh1 to nwm0 code.

PCM Codes - 1994-1997 Power Stroke FAQ
I checked the link, but really don't understand what I am looking for. I know off hand I have a DPC-422, other than that.. I'll have to look at it.
if I understand correctly, you are saying I can use others, as long at they are DPC-422?

No, that isn't what I'm saying, or what I said.
You can use a different PCM to test your truck from another truck that is similar in configuration. Configuration being, 7.3 auto federal emissions, or 7.3 manual california but between different years. A manual truck PCM won't work the transmission on an auto truck if at all, but an auto truck PCM may work a manual truck. If they aren't the proper year other things may not function properly. But you should be able to start and run your truck.
The "processor" or type is most important, with the "program" or code being second. Codes are processor specific, so a 01 will never have a code that matches a 99 since they are different processors. From what I can tell, the truck will run best or like it did before with a code that matches your current configuration. But it has to be the right processor regardless of code since you can flash the right PCM to the proper code. With a little research you can find superseded codes that may offer improvements. Or, as some have mentioned, you can go to an older code that works better, like going to PMT1 from PMT2. Or forwards upgrading from code XLE1 which is a DPC 402 processor to a PMT1 which is a DPC 422.
So in your case being an 01 DPC 422, 7.3 automatic federal emissions, you can use a lot of different codes and several different PCM's. The best being a DPC 422, and most like PMT1 code. You can use one of your friends 99 to test, since a lot of 99 guys upgrade to the DPC 422 PMT1 anyway.

if you have the PMT2 in your truck now...any of these will fit..but the chip may not...

Ok, sorry.. I misunderstood. This is all new to me.. I'm not going to try & pull my PCM in the dark, but I found the paper I had from when I ordered my chip. I had DPC-422 & PMT3 wrote down.

Ron- the chip should work with any of those. When I talked to Jody a while back, he told me I could even plug my PMT2 tuned chip into my early 99 computer and run it if I needed to and it would run fine!

I guess you are right. I had it in & out so many times the other day.. I should be able to do it blind folded. 
My next question is, if i find out my PCM is fried.. How do I go about getting what I need for a replacement? Junkyard? Internet? And how Will I know what WILL work, so I don't end up making a costly mistake & getting something that won't do what I need it to do? Does it have to be exactly what I have for my truck to run the same & to match up to what I have burned on my DP Tuner?

I recommend car-part.com for a replacement PCM or the junkyard. I got mine at car-part.com and paid $80 shipped. As for what will work- use the list Ron posted above. Any of them will work in your truck and with your DP Tuner.
When you run the search on car-part.com, I think you need to select "engine computer" from the drop-down list. Use the calibration code (6th column in the list Ron posted) to help narrow your search down.

I checked out Car-Parts.com.. From what I can tell I have the following PCM in my truck now
2001 F-Series 7.3L DI TC VRAA7S6 1C3F-ZD 1F719S0A11 DPC-422 216 5A0A PMT3
I found one at a salvage yard about 20 miles from me it says 1C3F-ZC
On rons list, i'm guessing thats this one
2001 F-Series 7.3L DI TC VRAA7S5 1C3F-ZC 1F719S0A10 DPC-422 216 5A07 PMT2 DIESEL 250/350 INCREASES CLUTCH PRESSURE OVER PMT1
What would be the difference in the two & would this one work for me?

Me either, but the PMT2 is a good PCM. If the price is right, get it. Your DP tuner will over-ride it anyways. All Jody's tuning is bases on PMT1 settings, which is almost the same as PMT2. Long story short, that PCM will work fine for you.

Well... 3 PCM's later my truck still won't start. I tried my nephews from his truck (an NVK3) & nothing. His truck has been sitting since he put a hole in his block..
so I started thinking maybe something was wrong with his, so I went & bought the one I mentioned, a PMT2 & still the same results.. won't start... There's something else there that I am missing
I'm sure its possible, but whats the odds of all 3 PCM's being bad?
