Why would the IMS give out? It's a 2000 S model - pretty sure that had dual row meaning the guestimate would be what, 1-2 % chance of failure? 98% chance NOTHING will go wrong with the IMS.
Nothing wrong with replacing the IMS as preventive maintenance, but to call it a bomb is silly. Bomb implies it WILL explode, whereas IMS is much much more likely NOT to explode, especially on dual row.
