ECM question

Hello all, I have an 89 Toyota Pickup Regular Cab 22RE 5 Speed 4 wheel drive. My ECM has been getting wet for quite sometime now. I think my best bet is to move its location, and replace it. My question is what years, make, and model can I replace mine with? Are the ECM's 4wd, MT/AT, 4cyl specific? Any help, advice, and facts are much appreciated.

Is the ECM giving problems? If not, why not just fix the leak? Or, move it if the leak is unfixable.

It's been running good most of the time, other times it I'm getting a bunch of really strange problems, like bad ground associated problems. Fixed all my grounds, then noticed water flowing over my ECM like niagara falls. So I just bondo'd all the places it looked like it was leaking through. My truck used to start up strong. Then I came home from being away for 2 weeks and my roomate was driving it around. Said it was raining a lot while I was gone. Go to start my truck and it barely starts up with a really low idle. Thats when I thought it was my grounds. Then I went to the ECM and took it out and it was full of water when I opened it up. And the other wiring harness aside from the ECM was getting soaked as well.
