Where would the remote unlock module be on a '08 F550?

I bought a '08 F550 that has electric locks and a keypad on the door. I would like to see if there is a remote unlock module so I can unlock it with a key fob. I only received keys to this truck so I am not sure if it has a module. Anyone know where it might be?

I would check on the firewall around the center hump on the inside of the truck. They like to tuck those modules up there where it is nice and hard to reach.

Found mine high up the right side kick panel, behind the glovebox.

While off topic, it's somewhat related.

how do I go about finding or resetting the door code on an older truck? I bought a used 08, got the keys, but have no clue as to what the door combination is

On an 08 Super Duty, the RKE functionality is integrated into the SJB, there is no separate module as there had been on older models.

I would like to see if there is a remote unlock module so I can unlock it with a key fob.
Try putting the system into the fob-programming mode (instructions are probably in your owner's manual). If it enters programming mode, then it's ready to add new fobs.

how do I go about finding or resetting the door code on an older truck?
Use a scan tool (or Forscan with appropriate adapter) to pull the data from the SJB's memory. There *might* be a label on the SJB with the factory default keypad code written on it. You'd have to do a visual on yours to see if there's a sticker or label.
