03 ECM Recall

Has anyone heard anything on what the 03 ECM recall did to the Truck. I have just purchased a beautiful 03 3500 4x4. I bought it from a good friend of mine, he said in March 03 the dealer wanted it back to fix a recall issue. The sticker on the front of the engine compartment says ECM recall. My friend swears the mileage and power both went down.
Also as a side note I must eat some crow, as this is my first Dodge and CTD for that matter. I have been a die hard chevy fan my entire life, including the duramax. All I can say is PLEASE.......... no comparison,, the best way to describe the difference is like driving a mini truck type suspension/power vs a MAC truck. I cannot believe the Chevys can sell. The front suspension alone is like night and day difference. I have always owned 2500 and 3500 trucks for my business. The sad part is the only reason I switched is becouse of some problems with one of my 04 3500 chev crews but thats another story.
Thanks
Bryan
