Need advice on where to buy ECM

~171,000 miles 2001.5 5 speed etc.

Just been advised by repair shop that I might have a failed ECM. Will know more in the morning after they say they will install a TEST ECM unit.

I'm dreading what the cost will be from the repair shop ( I will not mention shop name here). I will say that it is not a Dodge Dealer. I used the search tool but was unable to to get any good hits on where to buy on line. I was hoping by this post I can open Panders TDR box and be overwhelmed with suggestions.

Are ECM's being sold on line all re manufactured ? What suppliers I should look to and which to avoid?

Thanks in advance folks.
Tom
