Unless its a programmer is located behind your emegency brake under the plastic kick panel. It will be pluged into a computer modual.

you have to uninstall the ecu(the trucks computer) and check it to see if it is there. go to www.westerndiesel.com and search for the chip install directions and that will tell you how to get at it( it is behind the e-brake on the drivers side but there is a little bit of work you need to do to get at it)
