Craig and all,

	I had slight noise on my Dodge Cummins engine in my 2003. It was
coming from the IDM as well. What I did was to due the normal bonding of all
the body parts, plus exhaust. The other thing I did was to purchase some
clip on torroids for .75" cable. Clip several of those on the thick power
cable that goes into the IDM. Mine took 3 before the noise dropped to below
S2... Simple fix that works well.
