Need ECM for 1991 F150 5.0L
I have a F150 1991 with a 5.0L engine and need to replace the ECM. The number for the ECM is FITF-12A650-TA. I can't find it anywhere on line and hesitate to go to the FORD dealer. I did find a company called Auto Computer Exchange (http://www.autocomputerexchange.com/) who say they can mail me one.
Does anyone have any experience getting an ECM for a F150? Any other ideas as to wear I can buy one other than out of a junk yard (and hope it works)?
Thanks much,

You'll need to find the right one for your truck's year, engine, and options. eBay would be a good spot (several reputable sellers), but it might take awhile to come across the right one.
Just search for 'ford f150 91 computer' and you'll find a few. 1991 is a transition year, so it might be a little harder to find one than some other years.
You can get them at your local parts store too:

Thanks so much for the info. I went ahead and order the ECM from the autocomputerexchange.com. I'm in the Northern Virginia area and called several auto parts store and no one carried what I needed. The autocomputerexchange guys just needed the original part number off the old ECM and the VIN number of the truck. They "programmed" what I needed and shipped it within 24 hours.
Of course, now the test will be if it works or not. If it doesn't I'll update everyone.
thanks again,
