What is the "Brain" of a vehicle called which controls all the electronics?
Alot of people are suggesting the brain of my truck is going out which I am guessing is the ECU. (Electronic Control Unit). Am I correct? Anyways, Its about $75 at advance auto, But I am wondering, Where is it located and what does it look like? Is it easy removal once it is accessed? If you can give me specific details I'll give you a good rating and pick your best answer.

What year and engine type, V6 or 4 cylinder?
What symptoms lead you to think the ECU is bad?
Rare for an ECU to fail, pretty much the last part looked at when troubleshooting.
Location depends on trans type, year, typically mounted in the area behind a plastic panel on the passengers side of car. Right of where the passengers right leg would be.
