You have to remove the PCM from the firewall to get this number..Consider it a test run for when you install the DP..Make SURE the keys are NOT in the ignition when doing this!

You also can use your vin no#, I gave that to Jody when I ordered mine but call Clay and see if that will work with him..

The PCM is located on the drivers side of the truck under the fuse panel in the cab. You have to remove the pcm to see the code. There is also another mwthod that I ended up using. The connector that goes through the firewall to the pcm has the code on it. Take a flash light and an inspection mirror and you can read the code off the side of the connector. It is facing the drivers side fender

I found it easier to spend 10 minutes pulling the PCM to see the code, but that's me.

I know but sometimes I do things just to see if they can be done.

Kinda like some of the high voltage experiments that I have done in the past.

LOL, yeah I spent about 5 minutes screwing around with a mirror and gave up. 3 bolts and 10 minutes later, PCM was out

Now that's a funny line.

If the PCM has been changed the label on connector may be wrong.
Pulling PCM to be sure is the best way.

No sense in trying to hide from the truth... in the words of Popeye, I yam what I yam

I thought the sticker was on the PCM connector itself, not on the wiring plug under the hood? I should know this...

I think that was directed at Jim. I've never done anything like that! Unless you count putting a 9v battery on your tongue
