Just looking to capture some numbers of the amount of failures that you guys have seen?

Black...one. Happened at 62,000 miles.

Ran a blue after that until I installed my tuner and then I took it out. Running a black now. Don't want to run a crappy gray.

My truck had about 150k with no failures. I did the recall. Looking back I probably wouldn't of done it. I bought an original cps a while back.

My '95 obs had the original fail @ 95k, currently running on a grey one. Will switch it to one of my black ones when time allows. My SD is still on the original @ 158k.

Mine failed around 100k shortly after I got the truck. Not sure if the PO had a failure or not but that dang thing was bolted in so tight that I cracked the socket, so I figure it was original. The one in there now has roughly 68k on it. Its also a black one. I have 3 more spares and 1 spare gray which I bought to shut them up about the recall. No noticeable difference when I put that one in to have the recall written off as done.

Something to add as a reminder is the colors only count if speaking of the OEM ones since a lot of aftermarket junk is also black and grey.

Excellent poll idea...

Never had one fail. Had the original black in there until about 75k, got the gray in for the recall, then bought another black from Clay. It's in there now, gray is the backup...

The black one in mine kind of failed at about 200k. It would cut out and back on going down the highway. I replaced it with another black OEM about two years ago and it is still running strong.
