Hi, any ideas for how to program IDM on DT466 international, deal won't do it unless buy part from them which selling me at $1500, and I got from Ebay at $300 already, I have software MD32 DLC( Diamond Logic Controller) which has program on menu, does it works? Thanks

No programming needed for the IDM, just plug it in.

I bought IDM from Ebay for 2006 international school bus DT466 engine, it's for Ford, but the part number is same as my old one-1845117C5 anyway, cannot find out anywhere selling IDM for international except dealer, I guess they are using same, and seller said it will fit, after install, the bus doesnot start, scan tool read ECM and IDM are incompatible, now seller said it need program...

No, Gearbox, it doesnot help, actually I replaced with Dorman 904-229(bottom board) already just want to try to solve my problem, but it didnot, it still happened same, quit randomly, replace all harness didnot work, need replace whole IDM.

INKAL is what you need to program ECM's
DLB can only program ESC controllers or build ladders for custom applications

Hi Bluenozer, Thank you for reply, but I donot need program ECM, my DT466 IDM faulty, I bought the same part number of IDM, but bus doesnot start and said ECM and IDM are not compatible, so I guess I need to program IDM, the ECM should be same as original one, Thanks

IDM needs to be flashed with IH parameters ( it would have Ford parameters in it now) serial numbers, blah,blah so thats why it comes up incompatible

If you replaced the complete IDM assy then it needs to be programmed by an International dealer. They need to connect the IDM/ECM to the plant in Chicago that has all the info. I know of no other way possible to complete this. in 15 years we have never had an IDM assy fail. The bottom board is a different story. That you just replace the board and good to go. have also never heard of IC or International dealer requiring you to buy the IDM form them..

let us know how you get it programmed.

Ok, Here is my problem, DT466 intermittent shut off while driving, no warning no loss power, just quit like turn key off, cannot restart unless switch another relay or supply power bypass reply, then drive back put old relay back, normal again like nothing happened, replace everything (more than 10 relays, fuse, harness, even IDM bottom board)except IDM itself left.
