well put the IDM in the truck today. Seemed a little gain but not really sure. For a free mod I say go for it. Also I went from a IDM 120 to the 140 volt so maybe had I gone from stock IDM to the 140 I would have noticed more change.
Also I agree with Scott pull the VC's and see if there is anything under there to see. They need to some off anyway to do a compression test.

I just dabbed some silicone on it. But that would have worked. I ran out last night after doing my toe nails though.....
