How to tell if truck has a chip/been programmed...

I've been having problems getting a programmer to recognize my truck. The programmer was returned to stock and it still gave me an error. I was just thinking that the truck may have been chipped/programmed by the previous owner, and I was wondering what I can do to verify this. If it's chipped, the pcm will have a chip installed on it, correct? What if it has been programmed with superchips, hypertech, etc? any way to tell that?

Dunno how to tell if it is programmed but take out the PCM to look for the chip

Usually the plastic cover on the pcm is removed.

well i took out the pcm and as far as i can tell its bone stock.

i guess the only thing that it could still be is altered by a programmer

here are the numbers off of the pcm

dpc-441 apx1 eecv ford

1c3f-12a650-yb lnta7kfpk9p6
g npf 0l30f

0l17a0
f5sb-14a624-aa
