Re: Thoughts on this ECM location
Nothing wrong with it but why not just go under the seat with it. Save the hump panel.

I am with Andy. Plus easier to get to under the seat.

Re: Thoughts on this ECM location
Ditto..under the seat..not a bad idea though..wouldn't be nothing wrong with that but I would put some insulation under it because that will get pretty warm from the trans heat.you would have to use "high" hump carpet

Re: Thoughts on this ECM location
The floor under my seat is well represented by audio equipment so I mounted mine in the upper left corner on the inside of the fresh air channel behind the dashboard. The bottom hangs slightly below the dashboard and is hidden behind an a/c vent.

Re: Thoughts on this ECM location
I moved mine from my inner fender, to on the passenger side inside-footwell area. Unseen from outside the truck, no real cost to passenger legroom, unless they have size 20 feet.

Re: Thoughts on this ECM location
Mine is in the glove box. I cut the card board part for the connectors to fit into the ECU and hold it tight up against the back part of the box. I have room for small stuff.

Re: Thoughts on this ECM location
I installed mine in that basic area My gas tank is removed so it is all the way at that back wall. When I first did mine I was using a tuner and had to send the pcm back and forth (just return my old one) and this became a pain as it was not real convenient to get to. Keep that in mind of course once it is done you really don't need to swap much except for changes. I am now tuning my own so I can just plug into the obdii port and not worry where the computer is.

Re: Thoughts on this ECM location
I made a bracket to mount it at an angle behind the glove box and trimmed the cardboard liner so it can still be used as a glove box.
