New Computor (ECU) for a Early 99

[Combs19]

I'm just trying to make this clear, but if I understand it correctly I can put any 2000-2003 AT transmission 7.3L computor in my early 99 and it will work to upgrade it. I already know I'll have to get my TS chip reburned and just wanted to know for sure that when I go to the junk yard I can take home any one for 2000 to 2003 that had a AT trans in it? Anyone have any input on this do it sound right.

Thanks for the info

I run an 01 PCM in my truck and it drives a ton better. I have had the new PCM for almost a year and logged a little over 18K since it was put in and I have never had any problems.

I don’t know about any PCM but I got a PMT1 code DPC 422 family (numbers on the computer sticker) from an 01 at an online junkyard for $75 delivered and put it right in my truck and it ran fine, better than with the old XLE8.

pcm is powertrain control module, so it is the computer

OK, let me ask the original question again... ANY 7.3L, Auto trans, standard emission ECM will work in my EARLY 99 (Oct 12, 1998). Reason I'm asking is I went to two salvage yards here and both told me this is not accurate. They say I have to match the first part of the number... ie - 1C3F or may give problems.
