injector drive module replacement

[csb]

what is involved in replacing idm .is it plug and go, or is there any relearning involved. factory or aftermarket part?

[overl0rd]

As far as I know there are no aftermarket suppliers of IDMs, but they are an engine specific part (you need to replace it with the same).

IDM is plug and play, located in the drivers side fenderwell.....(front)

If you want a factory type unit, i would buy it from the dealer. If you want an upgraded, more powerfull unit, there are aftermarket options available. DO NOT use a junkyard unit unless it exactly matches the part number on the one that is on your truck...

the dealership tested the idm (to solve a engine cut out) it failed they want $1250.00 to replace module.clear codes and recheck for new codes. this sounds pretty expensive for something i can unplug and plug in a new one.

I was under the impression 99.5-03 7.3 IDM's were the same.

Yes and no...it may work, but there is differences.....i wouldnt try it. i know for a fact the van idm's are different, and i wouldnt put it past a junkyard to try to sell you one of those either...

the dealership wants $1250.00 to replace the module, if its as simple as unplugging the old one and plugging in the new one is that a rip off ? are the modules that expensive?
