PCM= power control module, think the brain of the truck. Basically, it controls the engine and transmission, like how much fuel to inject, when to spark, when to shift, how firm, etc.
EDIT: It looks like this and is located under the hood, at the front of the driver's side, behind a black plastic cover that snaps off...

just call any of the tuners & talk to them - you won't regret it.
just about everybody on here has a custom tune for a reason - they get so much more out of your engine than a generic handheld tune
me - i got a Blackbear tune & he even got my truck running with an oddball engine/trans setup on the first try through the mail. i'm fixing to upgrade to a live scan tune when i get my headers/cam & would recommend him to anyone

From above:
Defintely go custom tune, no handheld can compare. There are a few sponsors on here, Nelson, Blackbear, and Wheatley. I personally go to Wheatley for all of my tuning and could not be happier, but I know the other tuners have great reputations on the forum as well. If you are near enough to one of the tuners, an in person tune would be the best. Links to the tuners are on the right =>
