Default New PCM, how much and where?

As a possible solution to my being locked out of my current PCM, I was thinking about picking up a new PCM and playing with LS1_edit and keeping the old PCM until I get the new one running right. Any ideas or suggestiong as to price and availability of a new PCM? This is for a 99 if that matters.

Thanks!

I think you can get them from the Carputing guys. Valvegod@aol.com usually has something too.

Valvegod Joey.. I was at the Junkyard a couple of weeks ago and they had several 98 and up f-bodies there. I am sure they have the pcm.. Look for the man holding the tires off of Starkey <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Vince, where is Starkey? I'm not too familiar with the pinellas side of the bay. Thanks! BTW, did you get your car back from Al's yard yet? If so how is she running now?

For a new PCM, check out your local Chevy parts dept. Think a new pcm is around $160 w/core. Some salvage get $250 for a core (a good one). Usually a salvage yard won't sell you the pcm if they've got a saleable LS-1 with it. A broken motor--then they might sell you the pcm as a core. Take it to the parts dept. w/you when you go to order the new, empty pcm. Hope this helps. WJ. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

I bought a '98 PCM from http://www.junkyardjimmy.com for $150 shipped. It wasn't programmed for an F-body, but it will be soon. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> I'm not sure he had access to any more, though.

I think I found it through a parts request from worldparts.com, but it was a long time ago that I actually did the request...

I sell 99 to 2002 PCM's. I Flash them to your VIN with GM's latest release for your car. I get $200 for them. No Core required.

KenK, sounds like a pretty good deal. Do you have a website?

KenK, if you can find a way to do that for me with a 98, you've got a sell.

I Wrote the edit part of LS1-Edit. The PCM business is just on the side to help guys that want spares.
http:\\carputing.com is our web site, but I don't even advertise the PCM's on that. I have sold about 75 PCM's over the last 2 years, mostly to the LT1 crowd.
