7.3L Powerstroke PCM & IDM Testing Service (1994.5–2003)

If your 7.3L Powerstroke is experiencing a no-start condition, injector misfire, communication issues, or unexpected PCM/IDM failure, this PCM & IDM Testing Service from Diesel Technology of Chattanooga provides a thorough, professional diagnosis before unnecessary parts replacement.

This service is ideal if a performance chip was removed with the key on, the truck suddenly stopped running, or you need to determine whether the PCM, IDM, or another system is at fault.
