Just finished it up and it still runs after I put it back in! Just wanted to post the pics on here for those of you who might want them...

Started with my stock IDM 100


Next found the blue resistor marked 6042



Removed it and carefully soldered in the new resistor



I didn't want to get the resistor too close to the circuit bored as there wasn't much space, I know others solder it closer but I wanted to stay on the safe side.
After I soldered in the new resistor I put a dab of silicone between the resistor and the green part next to it to keep it in place.
Put a bead of silicone around the cover and pressed it back together till it set up. Re-installed in the truck and it started right up! I was pretty nervous for a while though...
Havn't taken it out for a drive but will report on how it runs when I do.

 

whats the drive behind doing this mod again? awsome pictures though

 

By putting that resistor in it makes the IDM send 140 volts to the injectors, thus making them open faster and stay open longer.

Power figures I heard were about 20hp and 50 ft/lbs but it depends on the truck.

After driving it today it runs really well, great throttle response and idles smoother.

 

any smoke out of those stacks yet Brown Falcon?

 

How exactly did you remove the old resistor? Did you have to use two soldering guns at the same time?

 

I just used a small screw driver, pushed lightly on the side of the resistor and it broke up. I removed all of the pieces, soldered in the new one and viola, done.

You only have to heat the board 1 time.
Startups are quicker with the mod.

thoughs who have done this, did you notice a reduction in fuel mileage? jsut curious

 

No, but I don't keep track of my mileage anymore. I found that it would only fluctuate by 1-2 gallons. I also found that my right foot really dictated my MPG's and sense I am a torque addict I was my own worst enemy.

Did you use the grey RTV or what kind of silicone?. Reps sent.

 

Jose, I used the Ford Grey silicone when I sealed mine, figured this is not the place to chance a leak. I used regular silicone to stablize the resister to that tall unit next to it.

Thank you, Im agree with you.

 

I can get a little out of it... still not much. Next step is downpipe, then TW

Just used one and a pair of small needlenose to move it a little at a time.

 

I used Ultra Black RTV that I had left over from doing my rear diff cover the day before

 

I'm really not sure if some of the other commercial RTV's won't work as well as the "Ford Grey" but the word around town and on the street claim that it, the Ford Grey contains some "Mystical, Magical Powers" Go figure.
