Default fuel injector module

my dad has a 99 powerstoke that loss all power on him the other day. from what the mechanic where he works has figured out is that its possibly the fuel injector module. problem is no one knows where it can be found on motor to check it. also was wondering if a fuel injector module off a 96 powerstoke could be used to see if thats the problem? thanks for the help

i'm going to guess you're talking about the IDM (injector driver module) the 6.0 has a FICM (fuel injector control module) i'm pretty sure the IDM's are interchangeable between the years on the 7.3. i know on the OBS they are on the drivers fender next to the fuse box. i don't know where they are on the SD's...

IDM from an OBS will work, but its a lower power unit. Get a superduty unit if you need one.

The IDM on a Superduty is behind the drivers side fender. You have to pull the fender liner to get to it. Dumb place to put it but thats where ford thought it made sense...LOL

I dont have any pictures and could not come up with any on google...

Just remove the drivers side inner fender liner, its mounted to the inside of the fender toward the cab.
