    The code is too generic. You'll need to get an adapter and some software or take it to a shop with those items.

    Is the truck running OK, or is there a problem other than the error message?

    ECM lost communication with another electronic device such as ABS, body controller or cluster.

    It’s a Prostar. That one might be worth saving because it has a Cummins in it.

    You've got a datalink/module issue. Basically the engine ECM is having communication issues with another module in the truck.
