go there and you can send in yours to get rebuilt, or, buy a remanufactured one (which is faster, so ive heard). come with a warranty and all.
some one else will have to chime in on aftermarket brands

idk what you plan on doing with your truck, but since yours is OBDI like mine, the only option as far as after-market computer anything is the MOPAR PCM. requires use of 92 octane though...just an option. if you wanna stay stock, then some companies will sell you a pcm and ship it to you, then you just ship it back to them and get your core charge back.

i thought an ECM and PCM were the same thing.
somebody bought a refurb about 1-2 weeks ago because of an O2 sensor problem that wouldn't clear up, but i don't remember if he ever posted back or not. i'll find it tonight.

Tinkerinman, I read all your other posts.To me it sounds like the alt. With almost 300K it's on it's way out, if it 's never been replaced. Also, just because it still starts, doesn't mean the battery isn't bad.These components don't last forever. I would be very suprised if it was the PCM. Just my 2 cents.

PCM [Powertrain Control Module] ECM [Electronic Control Module] is the same thing - And tinkerman, its usually more efficient and productive to keep the same problem within the same thread.
For instance, reading this thread, no one even knows what your problem is, and I'm not about to go combing through your posts to find out.
A voltage regulator bypass is possible, as you know if you've read through my thread.
Have you determined the output of the alternator ?
