I've had the usual problems with the stock PMD failure. Replaced with the SS Diesel PMD and heatsink mounted on the intake, in March 09. Headed to New Mexico with friends and 150 miles later broke down (PMD) on the interstate. Spent a fortune having the Suburb hauled to the closest airport and parked it in the long term parking. Ordered a new PMD and installed it on the way home. Truck cranked up first try. Walt @ SS Diesel advises that relocating the PMD w/heatsink is not recommended, but I have read and talked to people who mount the PMD and heatsink behind the bumper, and have not had any trouble.
I understand that a six ft. wiring harness is used, but Walt advises that will cause PMD failure. I'm still going to try it. What brand PMD works the best using the harness extension to the front bumper?? Does the new ground attach to the heat sink when the PMD is relocated behind the bumper?? The other end of the ground is best attached where? Many thanks for any advise.
