After the talk of the IDM mod maybe causing problems I ordered a spare reman on fleabay for 118.75 shipped. It's a 120V. I should have some time to try it Friday so I think I'll plug it in and see if it works.
I don't need to mount it to try it do I? Can I just lay it in there and plug it in or do I need to put it in its place? Just wanna make sure.

I don't state things as fact unless I'm certain, unlike you.

Speaking of the IDM, not to sound to special ed, but where are they usually mounted? Reason I ask, when I bought my donor, it was missing the driver side fender, and the IDM was just resting on the fuse block. Are there specific mounts holding it in place?

It should be on the driver side fender. There's a couple of bolts that go through the IDM into the fender

Awesome! Thanks a bunch! Is there a rubber isolator to keep the electronics from jarring too much?

I understand now. Ya, I didn't tell him what year of truck or anything, just that I needed a 120. He didn't ask so I didn't think he needed to know.
Hopefully gonna get time to try it tomorrow, got a lot of stuff to do, gotta load up the trailer and go racing for the first time this year sat and sun.
First real test with the trailer completely loaded. Kinda excited to see how the truck does, somewhat hilly trip, 160 miles one way.
