    I need to find the ECM in order to put some RF chokes on the wires. I've read that some ECM boxes are under the driver's seat. Is that the case for this truck? When you say "under the driver seat", I'm assuming that's accessible from the inside, correct?

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    The body ECU is behind the dash on the left side.
    The ECM is behind the glove box.
    The 4wd ECU is next to the ECM
    The shift lock ECU is under the center console.
    The transponder ECU is behind the gauge cluster.
    The TPMS ECU is behind the A/C controls
    The Occupant classification ECU is under the passenger seat

    If I missed one...........

    Well, if I may please request that you guys not limit your imput, when it comes to providing information/help, simply because the date on the original post is old... because I ASSURE YOU, someone else out there is going to bennefit from your knowledge. These car issues do not expire and will be FOREVER driving people crazy, no matter the calendar date. I know the timing is an issue when it comes to some feedback related responses (like you guys asking the OP a question to better assist him ~which is so very GENEROUS & KIND of you guys to do - period! I just LOVE this site!) But please don't let "zombies" keep you from adding your 2 cents! I can't tell you how many times I've found someone with my same issue and there have been no responses at all-- oh the hopelessness that comes in at that point! It really is tragic! Have mercy & pardon the zombies ♡
