Where's the ECU located ???

Hi all ,

Decided to order a Diablo chip for my truck . It's a 2002 F250 Superduty with the 5.4 Gas engine .

I received the chip today , but no instructions on where the ECU is located . Does it come out from the engine compartment or from the Drivers side interior ???

It looks like it's located behind the emergency brake , but I was told by someone you have to take it out from the firewall . Looking over there is a mess of wires and harnesess with no obvious way to get at the computer to add the chip .

Any advice is appreciated .

Thanks in advance .

Did you get it through us? I can't find a matching email address in our DB. If so, you should have gotten complete step-by-step instructions in addition to the stuff Diablo puts in the tube. Let me know your customer info (via email at webmaster at ford-trucks.com instead of via the boards) and fax number or email address you'd like me to send them to.

Got it installed ! Couldn't wait . I'll give my evaluation in a month or sooner , already took here for a spin and Definately noticed a difference in the tone of the truck ( Sounds more aggressive with the already installed tuned exhaust ) and it shifts later and not as often ! Definately an improvement there .

Thanks

What's your invoice # or customer name you ordered with? I like to match up feedback to a spread-sheet I have of all chips sold so we have a programming history.
