Subject:      ECU Lifespan?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

With Ken's tale of Digifant ECU failure, and many
others ECU failures I've heard about, it makes me
wonder why these things fail.  Is there input voltage
fluctuations in older vans that would stress the
compenents?  Is it from physical shock?  Is the ECU a
part that should be changed after, say, 10 years?  It
sounds like a spare would be good to have on hand for
longer trips.
