After a lot of research, I bought my ECM here: http://www.remanautoelectronics.com/dodge/cummins-78.aspx ts a partner company of Flight Systems https://www.fseg.net/ Its a Known good company I am very pleased with the ECM I got from them. It is completely re-manufactured, software upgrade and extensively tested Watch out for places that say "lifetime warranty". .
