I saw some on eBay (US) with the same exact year model as my car but the last digits of the part number is different? so i was wondering if this would work, coz i understand the part numbers are supposedly different in every country but they are the same part.

A. I would personally put some more effort into finding the source of the trouble before changing the ECM.Those units are really tough and don't break very often.But, if you get a used one,get it from a vehicle the same year and engine.It probably won't need to be reset. Look here for a used one:

Why are they destroying the engines of the clunkers by having them seized with silica gel?
Q. in the past we salvaged parts and engines are the heart of a vehicle. Salvage yards are part of our economy, besides also we used to send our cars and trucks to mexico and points south, other poorer countries included. China burns coal, and pollutes as do others, but we must take a step backward and destroy what was built to ease man's labor and burden and not to waste or to harm life on the planet. Too bad is certainly not a good enough answer, that is exactly the attitude of the administration; Too bad ,we will do it because we know what's better and do not care what you have to say about anything.

What underhood fuse block to nab from salvage jard? Custom Install!?
Q. Since I am installing fuses, and breakers, and relays...to run my new electric coolant fan, relays for my headlights, etc, etc. I wanted to clean up all the wiring, and centralize all of it in one fuse block under the hood of my 1985 Caprice. I am keeping the under dash one, just wanting to install an additional used fuse box. I am planning to go to my local self-service parts yard, and am wondering which one to get. Prefer: Water and heat resistant, (shouldn't be a problem) Use the common fuse ATO preferred. Inexpensive, easy to find relays. Not to small, or large. no longer than a foot or so. Common, model of car/truck preferred. The cars at this particular yard, are 10-25 years old, so thats what I have to choose from. Thanks in… [cont.]

A. Neon at a salvage yard "6 Bosch type relays and has sockets for about 8 ATO style fuses from 10 amp to 40 amp. The box has a hinged snap-down lid that looks splash resistant and it seems like it could be a nice thing to have if you want to add ATO type fuses and a bunch of relays to your car.

DON'T say a salvage yard, i just need the skins, there is way too much work in separating the out skin and making it fit right. for example; if i buy an entire door, i would have to cut the out skin off.

How do you try to buy or bid on totaled vehicles by car insurance companies?
Q. I m interested in trying to find a vehicle like mine, but wrecked with a good engine and transmission and any other parts I can salvage to keep mine alive for a few more years . I would like to know in general how to search and bid on wrecked vehicles that have been totaled by insurance companies and are now up for bid. This would be kind of like what a wrecking yard must do to purchase vehicles for parts resale, or a used car dealer that would in turn repair the vehicle and resell with salvage title. Any leads on where to start would be appreciated

A. Ask your insurance agent. He should be able to tell you what they do with the totaled cars. A lot of the time they have salvage yards take them or auction them off at a local auction. Good luck and hope you find one.
