My IDM went out on me one morning out of the blue. Started the truck to go to work and it was running on one bank, scanned it and an IDM code came up (can't remember which one) Something to the effect #6 injector short IIRC

I just swapped in my spare IDM, and its been fine since

I opened the old one to look for signs of moisture and found nothing. Nothing looked burnt either. One of these days I want to send it in to be checked/fixed/modded.

I believe when they go they go, I'm guessing you prob have a frayed wire or moisture in the plug.

Check the salvage yards. Unless you want to pay the dealer prices. IF you take it to the dealer they will usually tell you its bad even if it ain't. Unless you find a real good one, then the mechanic will check it all.

I searched for any sign of frayed wires and never found anything. However by me grabbing wires and wiggling plugs it's possible that I unearthed the offending wire? Not sure, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I parted out a truck & kept the IDM & PCM for spares.
