Where can I get an ECM?

I've decided to replace the ecm on my 91.5 but have not had any luck with the local parts places or online. I'm afraid to call dodgecause it will probably cost more than the truck is worth. Anyone have a source? Thanks Kevin

What is your truck doing to make you think that you need a ECM ?

I've had a problem for a while that the wait to start light comes on when going down the road which turns on the grid heaters not really what you want pulling a grade loaded. At times the water in fuel light comes on to keep it company. The grid heaters now will sometimes stay on for 15 or 25 minutes so I have them unplugged. I've changed the temp sensor and ignition switch thinking it may have been losing power to the ecm and reseting it. I have checked and cleaned all conections, grounds added extra grounds blah blah blah so my guess ecm. I posted with this problem a while ago and most agreed it might be the ecm. I was hoping if I ignored it it would go away but it only got worse.
