Hey guys,
So here's the deal, the girlfriend been driving my 02 F350 back and forth to work past few days. She called me at 11:30 last night when she was getting ready to head home and said the truck wouldn't start. Went up there and hooked the scanner up to it and was showing IDM codes present, I was able to get it to start but it was underpowered, missing, trying to stall, so we just drug it back to the house (with the 6.9 IDI ;p). Got up this morning and looked at it a little closer, neighbor has an almost identical truck, he let me borrow his IDM for test purposes and the truck ran great. My question is, where is the cheapest place y'all know of to buy a new IDM for this truck, I know from past experience that Ford wants $930 for a new one, and that's my cost as a mechanic, I'd like to find one cheaper somewhere, but without buying a used one. Any help greatly appreciated.
Also looking to buy a chip for this truck, what would y'all recommend? It's a 2002 F350 Crew Cab Dually 7.3L PowerStoke and 6-Speed manual tranny (wantin a 5 speed). My only two things on selecting a chip it needs to be shift on the fly and come with a monitor.
