Oh yeah and he told me he got it out of a crashed truck that he has there with a whole drive train and more. Will see it tomorrow and report.

Thanks all for pointing me at it and I sure hope it's the answer?

Find out tomorrow morning.

Best,

Got that IDM from the guy on Ebay locally and away it ran.

Really appreciate all the replies and assistance!!!

I only hope that I'm able to help someone myself in the future.

Best to you all and talk to you soon.

That's good
Does it run better than it did before it died?

Great to hear you're up and running. I'd guess you saved at least $750 by not stopping in at your friendly dealer mechanic.

The reason he asked if it ran better than before is the new 120 IDM. The higher voltage should make the injectors respond just a fraction of a second faster when you hit the skinny pedal than it did before.

I'll report back on that now that I'm paying attention to it...

Was being very nice to it today (gunshy LOL) tomorrow will be another story and will report back on any noticeable improvement in performance and such.

Semper Fi,
