i have a early 99 that has been moded and i am looking to upgrade the idm since that is one of the weak points in the early 99 compared to the later years. i hear it is pretty straight forward. is it a plug and play deal or do i need a moded one since i have heard talk about modding them? is it located under my dash? will it work with my cts programmer? thanks to anyone who can help me out on this topic.

 

you wount see much diffrence without modding it. i would get the swamps modded IDM if it was me.

 

never heard of swamps. is there a website or anything to get further information on it as far as price and product? and it should be as simple as plug and play?

 

http://www.swampsdiesel.com/

you might have to email them. last time i looked it was not on there website but they are still selling them. yes just remove your old IDM and install the new one.

 

IDM is inside the inner fender well on the Superdutys, its a bit of a bear to get to.

If you were going to do a IDM, I would get the swamps one as well. Its more of a tuned IDM then just a modded one.

 

any idea of pricing? thanks

 

IIRC its about $200

 

$275 with core $450 without core.

 

We do sell the swamps idm's PM if you want some info

 

hey I am having a stalling issue. I have changed the cps several diffrent times in the same day no diffrence. I have changed the leaking ICP sensor. I have removed the edge juice box. It lopes at a cold startup for like 20 secs, then runs normal untill you give it WOT then it acts like its starving for fuel and cuts out intermitantly, It comes in with white smoke. When it rains hard and I drive in it it really cuts out stalling even at an idle or any throttle position.

So from what I can tell it looks like the IDM is going south. have any of you had to replace one if so how did your act? or did you just do the upgrade for the smoothness?

By the way the truck is an 01 X 7.3 auto with intake exhaust and old edge juice with 3 way switch.
