Post unlocked ECM installation

 

For 2017-2019 models the‌ ‌Factory‌ ‌ECM‌ ‌is‌ ‌located‌ ‌behind‌ ‌the‌ ‌driver’s‌ ‌side‌ ‌headlight,‌ ‌in‌ ‌between‌ ‌the‌ ‌battery‌ ‌and‌ ‌ the‌ ‌power‌ ‌steering‌ ‌pump.‌ ‌It‌ ‌is‌ ‌fastened‌ ‌with‌ ‌1 ‌christmas‌ ‌tree‌ ‌clips‌ ‌or 2 10MM bolts.‌ ‌
It‌ ‌is‌ ‌easiest‌ ‌to‌ ‌remove‌ ‌the‌ ‌2‌ ‌most‌ ‌forward‌ ‌connectors‌ ‌before‌ ‌trying‌ ‌to‌ ‌pull‌ ‌out‌ ‌your‌ ‌ECM,‌ ‌and‌ ‌leaving‌ ‌the‌ ‌3rd‌ ‌one‌ ‌connected‌ ‌until‌ ‌it‌ ‌is‌ ‌free‌ ‌and‌ ‌brought‌ ‌up‌ ‌where‌ ‌you‌ ‌can‌ ‌see‌ ‌it‌ ‌above‌ ‌the‌ ‌radiator‌ ‌hose.‌ ‌
The‌ ‌connectors‌ ‌themselves‌ ‌have‌ ‌a‌ ‌lock‌ ‌that‌ ‌needs‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌slid‌ ‌forward,‌ ‌pushed‌ ‌down,‌ ‌and‌ ‌at‌ ‌that‌ ‌point‌ ‌you‌ ‌can‌ ‌lift‌ ‌up‌ ‌the‌ ‌locking‌ ‌lever‌ ‌which‌ ‌will‌ ‌also‌ ‌push‌ ‌away‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌ECM.‌ ‌
The‌ ‌TCM ‌is‌ ‌the‌ ‌same‌ ‌style‌ ‌connector‌ ‌and‌ ‌is‌ ‌mounted‌ ‌on‌ ‌the the Firewall for 2017 Trucks or on the fan shroud for 2018-2019 Trucks.‌
For 2020+ Models the ECM is located in the driver side wheel well. The easiest way to access this is by jacking up the front, driver's side of the truck just enough, where the suspension extends but does not lift the wheel off the ground. Remove the factory fender liner (you can leave the fender flare attached)
