so kinda like on the OBS just further down?

 

Yes, but you CAN NOT access it from inside the engine bay, you have to get to it from the fender.

 

ok good to know. so with stock injectors would it be worth it to get a upgraded IDM?

 

I dont know... I still have a stock IDM. I would like to get one, but have never had the cash that has not been ear marked for something else.

 

ok guys is there any reason the idm out of a sd not work on a obs

 

hmmmm. wait for joe to answere that.

 

Yes you can run an IDM out of a SD in an OBS

 

No, A later model Superduty (Late 99 to 03 7.3l) IDM is actually an upgrade for the 96-early 99 7.3, the later in years, the higher the voltage output. There is also a mod with a resistor to make the OBS IDM crank up the voltage. Just get yourself a IDM from a 02 or 03 7.3 and be happy. If you can't find one you can buy a refurbed one for under 175 from a guy in florida. I can find his webpage again if someone needs it, I've been running on his 140V unit for over 3 years, no issues.

 

I used think there was a voltage difference in the IDMs as well until Swamps told me the numbers 100, 110 and 120 have no correlation to voltage and that they all are identical voltages... I am just relaying what I heard from them but since they do work with IDM's and sell modded ones, I believe it...

But to clarify, you can interchange any IDM's from a 7.3L Powerstroke... PCM's cannot be interchanged like that.

 

He asked if a SD IDM would work in a OBS and you said no...

When infact you can use a SD IDM in an OBS, people do it all the time as an upgrade.
