My 2000 is a different part # than your 2001, I have Cummins ISC ECM 3944105 – Diesel ECM. I don't know anything about this place, but the price seems fair for it being guaranteed tested, programmed and a lifetime warranty. Or send in yours for a lower price. I did price a new one for mine, it was just under 3 coach bucks. Ouch.Here is the part # you supplied. Cummins ISM ECM 3408501 – Diesel ECMAnyone used this place before? They're in Grand Prairie, TX.Jason you have a different engine it would have to be a different ECM. Not so much a year model as it looks like the '99 ISM is the same as Scott's '01 Quote Selected
Re: ECM, TCM, EIEIO Reply #26 – June 28, 2022, 10:05:42 am Jason how many failures has your model had? Are they readily available? I just dont like the fact my replacement has 900k miles on it. Quote Selected
Re: ECM, TCM, EIEIO Reply #27 – June 28, 2022, 10:26:59 am I have had zero issues, but in general, I like 1) having spares for critical items, or 2) know where to go if an issue occurs. Quote Selected 1 Likes
Follow-ups Successful replacement of King Control Re: ECM, TCM, EIEIO Reply #28 – June 28, 2022, 03:31:05 pm Does anyone know someone who has successfully replaced their king control with an air throttle. I lost mine in 2019 on a trip to Florida. I have a 1998 U270 with 8.3 Cummins and an MD3060R transmission. A trucking company in St. AUGUSTINE Fl. Installed an air throttle I purchased out of California. Total price $4500.00. I asked about the fact that the transmission was electronically controlled and the engine was mechanically controlled. The said don't worry the tranny will figure it out. They were wrong obviously and shortly after I arrived at Space Coast I figured that out and installed a tips. It sifted better but still not right. When returned to Maryland had Johnson and Tower reset the counts and it was shifting as it sould however it would stick in first gear occasionally and would not release unless you shut down the engine and restart. Returning from Forida in 2020 we lost the transmission.(hole in side of the case). $9000.00 later with a replacment rebuilt transmission we were back on the road but transmision was shifting all over the place. Got it back to Annapolis and had local Allison dealer reset the parameters and was told to drive it locally in stop and go traffic. Having done this for an hour or so it figured out appropriate shift points. However it still gets stuck in first gear after initial start and is an enigma to all so far. I'm sorry for such a lengthy description of my woes. Does anyone have a idea what's causing this condition? I've talked with John Kopaluk and he said the codes I'm throwing don't suggest he can help me. I've taken off the connectors at the pad and ECM, cleaned and replaced them. No change. Ive also replaced the outspeed sensor which is the origin of most of my codes. HELP Quote Selected

There are several posts on converting to an air throttle. Quote Selected 2 Likes
