Got a heckuva deal there... on both the missus and the IDM.
 Let us know how you like it once you get some seat time.

All right, mid week review. 200 miles on...Starting from stop lights is even better. The little hesitation, or rather throttle pedal movement with little or no acceleration is gone. I would say the amount of improvement from stock to 80dd is the same amount of improvement from 80dd to 80dd with the IDM.
I have to say its definitely worth it. Above 1900 rpm, I can't tell a difference other than slightly better passing response (not power, just initial response). But the Chip was way bigger difference in that department. I would say its like putting on new spark plugs on a gasser that had reaaaly old oily sooty plugs.

That sounds about what I'd expect. It's sort of the same thing we see on the 6.0L FICM. Very little (if anything) about 1800-2000 RPM, but off the line it's a nice improvement.
Hopefully you'll have some mileage results soon. Take care.

Yeah, the day to day driving has picked up nicely. I can't imagine it will do much for the long 2000 rpm hauls on the freeway.
If only I could slip something onto my patrol car to pick it up, something that I could plug into the obd 2 port (hint hint)

Good to hear about Swamp's IDM. I don't think I'll get their modded one, but I just purchased some things to do the voltage mod myself. If all goes well I have 4 to do on my family's trucks. I had heard about the voltage mod and somewhat grasped the concept, but I was unsure about the frequency mod.
I did some looking and found this link from Swamps which describes just about everything. High-Performance IDMs by Swamp's Diesel Performance Then if you look there are a bunch other related links on the same page. Might take a few times reading it before my head stops going like this ->
