My SWEET '96 - yes, Black & Silver are the perfect colors........
Just an update for all - got the EEC from Steve83 from a '96 Bronco configured like my F-150 and it's running like new, and tranny shifting perfectly. Getting the correct EEC solved all my problems. Several good mechanics had said don't mess with the rebuilt ones, keep looking until you can find an original.
VERY grateful that Steve had what I needed (at a very reasonable cost), shipped it promptly, and I have my sweet '96 back.......thanks to Steve for all his technical help too.

Steve -
I actually get a lot of my parts not from the Zone - none near me - but from Advance Auto........guessing your opinion of AA is about the same as for the zone?
TIA,

Stay OUT of the zone. I wouldn't buy anything from them, regardless. If my truck stalled in front of the zone, and I only needed a dirty rag to get it running again, I'd push it somewhere else. The sticker saying they don't know if it needs programming is a big clue that they don't know what they're doing. No EEC-IV needs any programming - they use only PROM chips; not EEPROM. Once it's burned for a particular vehicle & year, it's programmed forever.
Yes, junkyarding takes a while, but you end up with factory parts - not something butchered by the zone. I love JYing, and any time I find a part for these trucks (not necessarily one of MINE) at a good price, I snag it, and throw it into my hoard in case someone else needs it & can't find one locally. This one has a slightly-different calibration than your truck came with, but it should work fine since it's programmed for a '96 5.0L & E4OD:

I'll PM you my e-mail in case you decide you want it.
What "spec sheet" are you asking about? Both of the diagrams I posted that you quoted apply to your truck. The EEC pinout shows all '87-96 EECs, including yours - you just ignore the pins whose description doesn't apply to your truck (4R70W only, etc.). The VC label diagram also applies to your truck, but your truck's label is on the driver's door jamb (B-pillar).

Not at all. AA certainly sells some cheap parts, but they sell good ones, too. And their business model is better for the customer than the zone's, which is really the issue. But I've also had to deal with the zone's CEO directly, and he's a jerk.
