Having a '98 I figured you'd know the ECU is under the hood, not in the cab. Only 94/95 had the ECU inside the truck.

Never having messed with it I see now that the copy of the manual is for a 95 hence it showing the location as behind the fascia below dash. So then I assume my ECM is behind the cover on the wheel well next to windshield washer tank?

Tried some CRC Wire Dyer, It was recommended to me in a post on one of my threads and it works great.

In aviation we use a lot of acf50 it's great stuff I plan on treating both of my rovers frames with it. At the shows they will treat a tv let it dry and let I play inside a fish tank with water.

In aviation almost everything has a life-limit most is just CYA. The acf50 will last much longer, but the company dose sell product and in makes more profit the more it's used. Acf50 will move/creep for 6 months then dry to a light varnish. Corrosion x basically never drys but forget painting any were its been applied. Boeings T9 is close to the same but with more wax in it. I prefer acf50 do to the fact it will stop moving and form a protective varnish and I don't come out of the hell hole all oily the next year after an inspection.
