Question Tach Sensor wires

I am installing a DEI Valet Remote Starter/Keyless entry system on my 2003 F250 Superduty V10.

Could anyone please tell me where I can locate the tach sensor wires and even email me a wiring diagram. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Only thing I can find out on location is reffered to as BCM.
I have a massive headach and am drawing a blank on what that stands for.

Yeti is correct for the 99 -00 models .
In 01-02 they went to providing what is called a
CTO (clean tachometer output)
You need to find the Customer access wires .
Your looking for a Light green with a white tracer
(lg/wh) its circuit 76 .
The customer access wires are :
Take the panel off under the steering column ,just above the dlc connector (OBD-11) look above and to the right you will see a group of wires dead ended with shrink tubing on them .its in that group.

This is from 02 manual.
