It is always a "firends truck"...Just kidden ya.
I would look at the connector going to the IDM. If they are filling up with water....(like they do)...then it is bad luck of the draw....if they are not then it maybe a bad connector.
OR
It is a bad diagnosis

Not to Hijack this thread, but I was thinking of "shrink" wrapping my IDM and PCM connector area's to make a barrier from mother nature.

I dunno, I would almost think that would encourage condensation. There is a "check valve" on the IDM to prevent moisture. If you try it please let us know

I know one time the ipr harness shorted out on that truck and fried the first idm but we put new harness there and it keeps popping idm. We put his idm on my truck after they pop and my truck no start. I will check the voltage on the truck here in a few days. We r about to put a suncoast tranny in it! Stage 2 billit tc!
