Like Buccaneer said, you will have a hard time finding a rebuilt ECM, and most of them have been through the mill; they are junk. I've been through this. The EBL with HAM board makes it a direct plug-in to the factory harness, and to the untrained eye also looks completely stock. You're also getting updated electronics, a faster processor, and support, aside form being able to watch live data on a laptop to troubleshoot sensors, timing, etc. I would highly recommend this for anyone that's in need of an ECM, and doesn't want to gut their whole induction setup. Well worth it, IMO. I would even go as far as to say with time and patience, you can have it running better than it ever has.
Oh, and I left out another juicy part; the flash holds at least 6 or 7 tunes that you can toggle between, so you have an "undo" capability if you get carried-away. ;-)

WOW! the post by Blackbird is a bonus for anyone looking for an ECM, if it's really good...FREE! I also see that he has a Renegade for sale. If you are looking for one, I would JUMP on it fast. GL to you on your ECM quest.
