Default fried my 98 pcm

Well, I essentially have a paper weight now. I dont want to deal with how finicky the 98 pcm is anymore, so going to find a 99+ pcm and re-pin it. I just making sure, I can use a 1999-2003 pcm right? If anyone is reading this, and has a good one laying around, I'm in the market for one ..... but i'm just double checking i can only use a 1999-2003 pcm right?
