To be certain, you should:
* Consult your owner's manual: This is the best source for the exact location in your specific vehicle.
* Check online forums: Search for "2004 Chevy Silverado PCM location" along with your engine size (e.g., "4.3L," "4.8L," "5.3L," "6.0L") to see pictures and descriptions from other owners.
* Use a wiring diagram: A wiring diagram for your specific vehicle will show the location of the PCM.
Don't rely solely on generic answers; always verify the location in your vehicle's documentation or through reliable sources specific to your year, make, model, and engine.
