pcm code for tuner

Ok so I was going to order my tuner today and they are asking me for my pcm code. So I get home and look around and can't find it. Is it supposed to be on the plug or somthing? I looked with a mirror around the master cylinder I don't see anything. Is there another place I can get this?

Thanks

Are you getting an SCT? If you have a friend that has one he can get your strategy. If not, you have to wait for the tuner to arrive, read the code yourself, and e-mail it to whoever is writing your tunes. They can e-mail the tunes to you, you download them to the SCT, and then load them to the vehicle.

I'm not sure if the 5.4/6.8 PCM is different than the 7.3..

But I'll bet its pretty close.

Here are some instructions for getting the code (relevant to 7.3, someone will need to verify if it is also relevant to the gas motors)

I butchered my PCM code when I bought my tuner. I got a letter wrong, and got the whole code backwards since I was reading it in a mirror. But Jody at DP Tuner figured out what code it was just from experience.

I think Mike @ 5-star had a diagram on his site for location. Kinda tucked under/back of the fuse panel against the side near firewall. It took a few min to get and tuner came ready to go outta the package. That is from Mike, and can't say for others.
