Once you remove the mounting bolts,

It does take a little tug from the inside the truck to release the pcm from the rubber seal.

There is a video as well -- there is only one 10mm bolt under the hood. There are two 7mm bolts in the cab. Make sure you're disconnecting the correct connector...

Here's the video:

Yep, sounds like it's still connected to the plug on the firewall (under the hood). There's only one 10mm bolt on that connector.

Have patience - it's a little tricky to remove that thing.
