PCM. same thing as ECU. (actually, the ECU for ours is contained within the PCM.) That was just a terminology change when the computers weren't just for making the engine run any more. They started doing other duties, like transmission shifting, cruise control, abs brakes, (RWAL) etc.

94-95 are obd 1, and are not flash programmable. 96 and up, are OBDII, and are. There are some quirks with the 96-97? model years though, so, programming them is a bit 'different' than the 98 and up. Still, it can be done. Hemifever has tuners that work on 96 and newer trucks.
