In the 7.3's it was under the dash. Where is it on the 6.0?

Another question, if there was an aftermarket "chip" on the truck would it be on the PCM? or would it be else where?

Well there are two ways that are common that you'll see a "chip" on the 6.0.

1. Flashed on the computer itself

2. Connected inline with the harnesses and then the box is velcroed somewhere(easiests one to spot).

To really spot #1, there could be some communication bus fault codes at times, depending on what tuner was used, sometimes they don't leave this code. BullyDog tends to leave it.

Called Hypertech and they told me to look and see if it has an inline chip. Ill look at lunch. Truck is acting weird. That why I call Hypertech. Never had any issues with them in the past.
