I got mine from "valvegod", several years back now
(it must have been good ju-ju because since buying
a spare I have yet to fry a PCM). You need to take
some care, would not want to pick up a '98 PCM for
a '99-up, etc. I know the trucks and F-bodies of my
year were same hardware. I do not have any interchange
info other than that. I took my new PCM down to the
dealership and got an in-car reflash to my VIN (this was
back when I only had the Predator, and this worked out
OK, Pred didn't know the difference). In-car reflash is
something any dealership can do and the cheapest way
(when dealing with a dealership).
