Ok , here an update.. Truck is running 😊.
first off, the fuse under the dash for the cigarette lighter was blown... it also supplies power to the service port. Replaced it and hooked up a&e and connected.
The initial error code showed CPS , which I replaced. Since I had still no start , I did the KOEO test..
it showed both injector banks circuit high , cylinder 8 and 3 high and idm failure.
i still had another old idm, which I tried and she cranked right up.. KOER Test passed.
Hope I don’t brake down the next three days, but I guess I need to change the uvch harness or at least check...
thanks

Same thing happened to me a few days before Christmas on the I-10 between Phoenix and Los Angeles. Had to pay over $300 for a tow to Buckeye and baby it back home. Mine isn't such an easy fix however. I'd maybe send that IDM in for a rebuild so you know you have a good spare. I'm going to buy a spare one sometime this year just to have.

I don't know for sure, but I think Swamps,is the only company that messes with IDM's. I think others rebuild them but Swamps I think is the only one doing modification to them like upgrading the voltage and the frequency. I was probably just going to buy a super duty IDM online.
