Reading IDM box numbers, any chart?

I recently bought a IDM box. I'm trying to figure out what the serial number means. is there a chart or a manual that I can use to know what the numbers mean on my box. (like year model or stick / auto)
My box number is PN# XC3F-12B599-AD

The only real difference between the IDM's is the voltage. They aren't specific to trans/gearing and such. They pretty much interchangable and going from the 110v to the 120v, or doing the 140v IDM mod is a plus.

I bought a low mileage used one and modified it. I kept the OEM for a spare. Do you have your resistor? PM me, if you need one.

Do a search on Ebay for IDMs. There was a seller there that could probably tell you what the #s mean if they are still on there. They sold remans, I'm sure they would know.

You have a 120v IDM interchanges with your OEM one.

I got my idm box today. Its definately shows fair signs of use on the exterior. I opened it to look around and found a pin on the inside burned off. its on the inside before it goes to the outside of the plug. I thought i'd try the box just like it is so i installed it and the truck starts and idles smooth. should i be concerned with this? or will something fail?
I don't have any pictures yet.

A burnt pin doesn't sound good. Post the pictures and we'll see if this is something to be concerned with. Glad to here it is working though.
PM sent.

IDM damage pic

Here is a picture of the damage on my IDM. My camera doesn't like close ups so its really blurry. I might just try soldering the pin to take make sure it stays working.
