Looking for DDEC II ECM for 6V92

[B_K]

As the title says I have a friend who needs a DDEC II unit for a 6V92 if anyone has one or knows where on is.

**UPDATE**  (copied and pasted from BNO board!)

I've been telling him all along that I didn't think his bus would run at all if his was fried.  But "his guy" told him he'd talked to "me, my guy & several others and that the computer was bad" (I never said it was)

What started it all was on Thursday they got off a riverboat cruise an his driver liked to never got the bus to start.
But it finally started an ran fine. They loaded the group and headed to the hotel for the night an about 15 mins into a 30 min trip the bus lost power and would not go over 30 mph.
So they limped it on to the hotel @ 20-30 mph and he had a mechanic come work on it.
So they worked on it in the hotel parking lot but basically found nothing they could claim was the problem.
So Friday the shop sent 2 different mechanics out and they spent most of the day on it and they found nothing.
Sat he had another company haul his group home to S. E. MO and his mechanic drove up to French Lick, IN where it was broke.

That's when they figured out it was only running on 3 cylinders and his mechanic argued and argued with me that it didn't have separate fuses for each side of the fuel injectors. And even told me knew for a matter of fact that it had power to the ECM or it wouldn't run at all!
I tried explaining that the power to the ECM had nothing to do with the 2 inline 12 V fuses **SOMEWHERE ON THAT DAMN BUS** that were for the right an left bank injectors and that I'd seen it more than once on several different brands of buses and didn't know where they were located on his '94 MCI but that on must buses they were located in or near the battery compartment!

Well about 2 hrs later he called me an told me "Hey Buddy you were right again, we found 2 fuses in the battery compartment and one was bad. We replaced it and as soon as we turn the switch on it blew. So we replaced it again with a 15 amp (orig was 10) an it blew too. So then we replaced it with a 20 A and the bus wouldn't even start. But we took the fuse back out an we started it and again it was only running on the 3 cylinders so we putt he 20 A back in and it killed the engine again. So my mechanic told me the computer was fried!"

I told him over and over it had a dead short somewhere and I was pretty sure it wasn't his ECM that was the problem and they needed to find the short before hooking up a new ECM!
But they insisted that they needed an ECM.

Well they left it sit up at the truck stop in IL they had limped it too (the mechanic even pushing it up and over some hills on the interstate with his cadillac!)

I told him he's lucky the IL HP didn't catch them doing that or they'd become residents of IL for a yr or 2!

But anyway he called me this evening telling me even a blind squirrel gets a nut every now and then. And I was right again that they'd found a bad injector and when they unhooked it they were able to replace the blown fuse and run it on 5 cylinders to get it home!

SO Thank you to those that tried to help. He got by without one for now and yes the info on his ECM said R7570049 on it and had been re-manned 12/20/10.

Thanks to all and I'm sure at some point he'll be calling me again!

My biggest issue above is they call me asking for help. You give them the best you can over the phone and they argue with you so and so said that ain't it! But later when they call you back and admit you were right (and that so and so didn't know $#!% or even check it before deciding you were wrong) they still never learn and go with what so and so tells them.
But continually request your assistance that eventually they admit you knew what you were talking about in the first place while they are paying someone else to tell them you are wrong!

OK I'm off my soap box now as I must pay tribute to Clifford aka YODA who I know for a fact has been down this road thousands more times than I have!

Clifford with out a doubt for all you do, I and many others thank you for all your help!

I've been telling him all along that I didn't think his bus would run at all if his was fried.  ....  

   I am surprised that he didn't fry the ECM and most of his wiring harness putting in fuses rated for twice the amps on a circuit that was blowing the normally-rated fuses instantly.  Not only do they not listen to you, they have a funny sense of how to troubleshoot and repair IYWIM!

Anybody who keeps replacing fuses with progressively higher rated ones is someone I don't want anywhere near my bus!
