PCM and Strategy Code Location????

I'm getting ready to order a tuner with custom tunes from 5 star tuning for my 2010 F250. I'm getting ready to collect the required info and was wondering where I could find the PCM and strategy codes on my truck?

Disconnect your battery, look at the passenger side firewall where the 3 bundled set of wires connected, Carefully unsnap those and pull them away, Unscrew the PCM connected to the firewall and pull it out and on the one of the sides there will be a code (1"x3"paper). The code will be something like 4 or 5 digits if i recall right.

Thanks, that was it. I saw other posts talking about under the dash and I couldn't find it anywhere, I guess that's a good reason.

Lots easier if you know someone with a tuner....My SCT will read the stock strategy from the OBDII port.
