no soldiering irons. Tried it once. F'd everything up. I can weld...Heck, just boxed a 2002 front subframe last night...(house a six cylinder snapped that motor mount bracket right off)

Electrical and computers...I am ham fisted, all thumbs, two left hands...you pick the line.

Swamps is $275 for the whole deal....Thats a fair bit of cash.

Hmmm is it worth it? Im not made of money but i'll be damned if I start messing with circuitry...
I dont mind paying for a decent product....

And if I do do it, should I email Bill and Corey so they can adjust my Phoenix chip before they ship it?

I also posted this question on powerstroke.org... so you may see it twice:
soooo......

I saw that Beans has theirs for a hundred bucks:

Beans Diesel Performance - 7.3 Power Stroke IDM Modification (Powered by CubeCart)

and Swamps has theirs for $275... They say they have increased the "potency" of the IDM, by not only increasing the output voltage of the IDM, but by also increasing the frequency.

Whats the heck does that mean and is it worth the extra 175 bucks?

Here is a couple of adjustable options with the IDM, however it is much cheaper to do it your self with a non-adjustable version.
Steroid-T
18K+

Did mine last week. Seems to be smoother and maybe quieter. And with the chip I am very pleased!

The missus ordered me a swamps one for our anniversary. Should be here next week. I am hoping that it helps with my bogging down issue.
