Computer where to buy

I know some jeeps have problems with PCM and computer going bad . Is there any place to buy a new one besides dealer?

I got mines from a dealer.. unless you try finding one on Craigslist or getting one out of another jeep i suggest you buy it from dealer.

Im looking for one for my 2000 XJ and found ones at local junk yards for $75, ebay for $80 to $150 and companies online selling rebuilt ones for $199.

Mine went out on my '03 WJ a couple months ago. Got a new one installed at the dealership for $900. Wasn't something I felt like doing myself.

The jeep will start to stall out while you're driving. Mine started to stall two or three times every time I drove it. I could drop it down into N and it would start right back up. The day it went out though it just wouldn't stay on. Every time I tried to start it it died. What happens is the computer gets hot and then just shuts off. Mine got fried and eventually just quit.
