The Ecm must be programed to your truck.

not trying to ask a stupied question. but why does it need to be program? with this ecm being bad will it cause my turn signal to stay when ur are traveling at 10 mph and up, and saying service 4wheel drive, and cause the instrument cluster to go off and on. How much should it cost to get it re programed, and will they need the truck?
