So the mechanic finally got my van running by putting in a temporary ECM. I am driving it and it runs really good but I have no dashboard gauges like a speedometer or gas gauge. Actually the milage shows the milage then nobus before going blank. Makes driving a little difficult. He has been trying to replace the ECM with one from an auto salvage. Had me bring the van down today to try one with the exact #'s as my old one but the van would not start with it. Will one from a junkyard work or does it need to be flashed?

 

Yes it will.
No it doesn't.
The numbers have to match exactly.

 

That's what I wanted to hear! Thank you!

 

Well I want to hear how the sun won't rise tomorrow until I do, but I see that only a privileged few get to hear what they want to hear!


Just kidding. How are those 10 lucky kids of your's doing?

 

Just spent the day at Six flags with most of the. I am wiped out but they are still going strong!

 

They each only have to handle one Mom, but you have to handle 10 of them, of course you're wiped out and they're not.
