Well, that's the thing. They removed all the stickers from the outside of the PCM, just not the MEMCAL.
The programmer I'm looking for , would the "Burn2 USB Chip Programmer" from Moates be the right type?

Flashing CEL is usually only for one of two reasons: Faulty memcal or diagnostics enabled.
The manual trans ecm is generally only programmed for shift light control and often even that is not active. If the trans is a 4L60 / 700R4 or other non-electronic trans then it does not need any input from the ecm to shift gears. If the speedometer calibration info is incorrect the ecm will not know either.
You should get a working scantool / laptop and try to view ALDL data. Without labels on the case I would consider a replacement ecm simply to know I had the right part. If the vehicle was originally built with an electronic automatic trans this approach may have been someone's way of installing an older trans to save $$.
Hi.
It's got a 4l60e in it now.
Since i got the truck, only had one CEL problem. That turned out to be the knock sensor being disconnected, plugged it in and CEL went out. No CEL since then. No other codes were/are stored.
I've got a great laptop. Got the usb FFTL adapter.
I've been looking at TunerCat or TunerPro.
Not sure exactly what I need.
My last dealings with scanning an ECM was with WinALDL on my Fieros...
Thanks a lot for everybody's help so far.

Definitely an "E?" If so, then either 1) you don't have a manual trans cal, or (2) someone also installed a separate trans controller. Simplest answer has the greates chance of being correct, so I'd start working with that chip burner.It's got a 4l60e in it now.
My vote is for tuner pro. It's free and does everything you'll need to do for now. Burning, reading, even emulating.
Most assuredly an "e". No aftermarket controller either.
I guess I'll be going with TunerPro
Thanks a lot!
If you connect with Tunerpro and find the adx that works and then compare the schematic to the PCM wiring plugs you can be fairly sure which ECM you have. Isn't that all you need?
No check engine light is telling me that your little stuff that is intermittent isn't likely to be PCM related.
Trying to help here. To use the Burn2 You will need an adapter and a chip to program a PCM. Moates has this adapter, and is very well made.Originally Posted by KlingonFiero

Compatible chips are listed with the G1 adapter. These adapters plug in chip (to tune), and a Memcal (to use the knock sensor, and limp mode)
The Ostrich 2.0 also plugs into the G1 (in place of a chip, and can be flashed, and run as an emulator) and works great to program a PCM.
From there you can use Tunerpro to tune your vehicle.
Just using TunerPro to datalog, once setup is a great benefit.
