It is behind the drivers side kick panel, accessed from under the hood. It's a vertical connector on the firewall, close to the fender. Disconnect the wiring connector, held in by a 10 mm bolt, then remove the two screws holding in the computer. You may have to take out the wheel well to get the computer out.

I think the 96 ecu is comparitively cheap, like $200 from the dealer vs $400 for a reconditioned one just a couple of years older.
I'm pretty sure I read that there is only one place that repairs these and that they are way behind. It might take a month to get one from them.
what problem are you having?

My mistake on the double post - Eric and I posted at the same time.
FYI, these computers are pretty durable - they usually are not the cause of an EFI problem. It's pretty much the last alternative option.
I'm sure you can source one from a junkyard for cheap - these trucks are everywhere.
You are kind of restricted since it's a 96...so find a truck that's just like yours and swipe its computer.
