Unfortunately, the alphanumeric numbers you listed are not valid.

It will be 3 letters and a number (similar to the second one you listed).

Where are you located (state wise....just wondering if you have a CA truck) and is it automatic or manual? That will limit your choices of PCM family considerably.

i am actually located in indiana.. and its automatic.

My GUESS would be that you have a DPC-202 family PCM in that truck. Don't go by what I am guessing, but if you get tuning for that truck, I bet that you will end up with a TDE1 calibration.

The only reason I can see for the PCM not having a sticker on the connector body is that it's possibly a reman. (aftermarket) PCM.

The older powerstrokes (up to 97) have a lot of access to get an inspection mirror down in the hole and look at the numbers.

I answered your post in Powerstrokenation.

If the letters you found were in fact F7TF-?? then you have a DPC-202 PCM. At this point it doesn't matter what the box code is (TDE0/YBT1/etc.) because you have a DPC-202 PCM. Get a TDE1 chip and BE HAPPY!
