    I have 96 3406E that apparently has a bad ECM. I also have a parts motor here that I think it from a 98 3406E. Can we install the 98 ECM on the 96? Do I need to have it programmed first? My dealer is claiming that I need a new one for $3300 and that sounds very steep to me.

    If both ecms have the same pin count they will interchange. The earlier one should be a 40 pin. The 98 may be a 70 pin. If the pins are the same check out the specs on each engine. You may need to contact a dealer for guidance. But reflashing should not be to castly.

    by what I'm gathering you've got a 5ek and a 2ws. If my mind serves me correctly a 40 Pin and a 70 pin platform. They won't swap you won't know without looking but I could have sworn a 2ws or the rare 6ts I believe was a 70 pin ecm

    I thought 2ws was 2000. maybe late 99. I don't think 2ws#'s were around in98. never seen a 6ts with 70 pin. 98 was 1lw or 6ts 40 pin. and the rare 1mm in 99.

    I am pretty sure you have a 5ek and a 1ws , ECM wise they both have the same part number , but need to be programmed , they don't have the same low nox programation

    For some reason I had it in my god forsaken head that it was a 99 year model motor. My mistake. 2000 would he a 2ws in truck years correct 99 in a motor year. Idk why the hell I got so confused long day yesterday
