The VIN number won't be on the bed.

A '96 jimmy does not have a body control module (bcm), it does, however, have an engine control module (ecm) located ontop of the coolant reservoir.

NoNo
Be care-full my radiator blew up and burnt me. I replaced Radiator, thermostat, and water pump. Timing belt is in the way so I replaced it too. OK Now
The ECM is located on the right front fender,mounted where the fender & radiator support come together. It has a plastic cover surrounding it & 3 big wire connectors going into it.
under the hood there is a black box that says diagnostics ,obd needs to be read by light blinking by jumping 2 conectors only 96 and above have a actual plug for scan tool
no. In 96 GM switched to a OBD2 ecm setup whereas 95 and earlier it had a chip style OBD1 computer
It is located somewhere on throttle body, just unbolt and bolt new on on
no, at least not if your T100 has the 60/40 bench. The 4runner seat mounts are closer together than the mounting holes on the T100. I put a 97 4runner drivers seat in my 96 T100, but it required lots of cutting drilling and a handful of grade 8 bolts. Can be done, just not straightforward.
There are two of them, one on either side of the catalytic converter in the exhaust system.
