Mine does not say Cummins ReCon on it. I seem to remember seeing a photo of one here in the past with a label stating that. Mine has a label in the upper right hand corner that says Cummins with a bar code, part number and may be serial number on it. So as far as I can see it was new. It was $1400 with programming back then. 

 I have heard mentioned here by one or two members here that you could still find a new one here or there in the $2700 range. Like i say I heard this but did not try confirm it.

 

Mine looks like that still. But I heard that Cummins won't touch it because it's a Dodge project.

My 01 ecm label on the plug - front side says Cummins recon , with bar 3 codes , part # , serial# , and date code , that label has RX after the part#

The label on the back , engine side ,has 3 similar bar codes but no RX , so I`m guessing its an original label , I like that because it gives me hope it has a better file memory than a older one .

The ACS  re-man one is now painted black with only a label of ACS stating part# ,vin # which is not really relevant to the engine ecm , and mileage which is for warranty and is purely an honor system , because its not stored  in the ecm 

 

I never gave my ecm any thought before 2016 , never a problem since I owned it -2000 , but I was told by Cummins in `15 that the ecms that Cummins has are all re-cond .mine is date coded 2012 ,I bought it in `16

 

I know that in the western states that back when I got my block replaced at Cummins in 06 , Cummins was privately owned as a franchise , in 2015 I was told they are owned by Cummins and seem to have different maybe self imposed rules about Dodge , was told they cant even have a Dodge FSM  , and cant have access to the files in the ecm , but can pull files directly from your ecm and install them on one you buy from them , maybe not a good idea if they are corrupted in a bad ecm . Cummins now wont touch anything but the motor ,at aleast at Cummins Pacific in CA and Cummins Intermountain in NV. When they replaced the block they were into the Dodge up to their elbows .

 

I would still prefer to get one from Cummins because they are fanatical about only selling parts that your vin refers to your engine id# for .To get a 01 ecm from them I had to give them a erroneous vin form a guys 01   and have them search the block# and ecm# for it ,it came blank

I had a small shop in Tenessee get mine for me. Thats where it broke down when the second rebuilt gave.He told me it came from Cummins but I never asked who programmed it.
