140V IDM mod

Anybody done the 140V mod on an older IDM? I have a 97 model 100V that is sitting on my work bench as we speak. I could just keep it as a spare, but was just thinking about options.

Sure. A couple hundred of the OBS guys with the 95 - 97 trucks have done the 140v mod to their IDM's. Works the same as it does on our IDM's.

I saw somewhere that it is not too hard to do with a little soldering and a resister or two. Is there a link to a how-to somewhere?

I will tell you that you need a very steady hand and a large magnifying glass will help.

IDM Mod

I sent mine to Swamps and let them do the mod. It sure made a difference.

I think I will try it but I know what you mean about needing a magnifying glass. Geez that stuff is small. Maybe somebody on here can might need it if I can do the job. Thanks for replies.
