It was an AB, when I sent them to Bean's they were tested before surgery LOL

Did you ensure the o-rings and crush ring were in properly, and the injector was completely seated?

Did you lube up the orings on the injectors before putting them into the cups?

Here's the link to the IDM I put in my truck. Swamp's Webstore - 7.3L IDM High voltage & high frequency Injector Driver Module It tells you how it works and how they modify it.

As for power I don't really notice anything, but MY GOD does it have more kick when leaving from a stop. I got it as part of a "trade" for injectors I sent them. It was worth it in my book.

I would like to ask something in connection with the injectors. (I'm new here, and don't really know, that may I ask in an older topic or I should open every time a new topic for a new question - in htat case its about injectors, so I ask it here....)

One of my 8 injectors works not always on lower rpm (only on lower, on higher rpm everything is o.k.). I would like to test them, to find whis may be faulty.

Is there any solution to test the injectors to see, if they are in googd condition or not? The engine is disassembled now.
