PCM Number Location?

Trying to locate the pcm # for the truck, I take it you can guess why..... I believe I found the pcm, above the kick panel drivers side?

Just didn't see any sticker on it with numbers, do I have to unbolt it from the wall to find it?

Looking to place the order tomorrow.....

Yes unbolt it. There is one 10mm on the firewall that you have to loosen first, then the two 7mm behind the E brake. It takes a bit of wiggling to get out.
The number will be on the outside (fenderside) of the PCM, just make sure that you slide the PCM back into the plastic tray the correct way.
I put a black X on the side that faces the inside of the truck.

Be sure to have the keys NO WHERE NEAR the ignition when pulling the PCM.
