Checking classifieds on diesel truck websites or wrecking yards. I have purchased 5 used ones in the last 2 months and have not paid more than $100 for any of them. They are available from NAPA and Carquest/O'Reilly/Bumper to Bumper but they'll run nearly $200 before the core charge (which I don't think they'll care if you give them an XLE4 for a core because they don't know).

It's a plug and play deal when going from a DPC-402 to a 422. It's just not as easy to go the other way since the BARO sensor input on the older truck is external for the XLE4; it'll shift weird/hard and have a check engine light. You won't have any problems with a DPC-422 swap into your dad's truck.

Cool I'll start looking at the .org and nation websites to see if anyone has one for sale. Thanks for the help again I'm sure I'll be asking a lot more questions of you guys once I get the chips and start playing with them.
