Default Think my GEM module is bad, can't find replacement.

Hi folks, I have a 1997 4.6l Larriat 3 door with automatic everything. I'm pretty sure my gem module is dead as the windshield leaked and I'm having crazy electric issues. I bought a used one but it doesn't match the numbers on the old one which is:

F65B-14B205-CD and it says PICK-UP ELECTRONIC 4x4 on the bottom

I CANNOT find an exact match anywhere using google or ebay! Any thoughts? The truck is more or less dead until I replace this sucker.

Thanks!

I found these 3 in less than 5 minutes of checking. They are out there, just getting scarce.

Sorry. I didn't explain. CB is the same as the CD, it is in the interchange as a direct replacement. I forgot to tell you that. Oops. Anyways, this is a direct exchange part, meaning second update (B) vs fourth update (D), and they are a direct exchange for each other. Good luck.

Right, - go for the latest update.

Same part, = # 14B205

Actually the "D" update covers "B" as well. I think AK said that?


Anyway..yea.

Thank you everyone for posting, the interchangeable parts make a lot of sense, I was wondering why I couldn't find an exact match...

Why are you using the PCM (12A650) codes. They do nothing for the GEM (14B205) module. Just curious.

The link below gives you the information on your PCM.
