I have a 05 6.0, my icp is leaking and I need to replace it. Do I go oem or aftermarket?

 

I don't have good luck with aftermarket sensors, so I vote oem

 

Do not waste your money on aftermarket ICP sensors.

 

OEM


Ten characters

 

I got mine on http://dieseltruckpartsdirect.com oem and the best price I could find. they had my eot sensor $10 cheaper than everyone else too.

 

OEM, however if in a bind, whatever I can get that works.

 

Ok oem it is, can anyone tell me why its nessesary to change the pig tail with the icp if it's leaking?? Coil I use an aftermarket pig tail? The Ford part seems $$$$ for a plug an some wires.

 

Because the connector is flooded with oil and that allows all the wires to be,shorted together.... like throwing a hairdryer in the tub.

 

I would not use an aftermarket pigtail if it was mine but better you are at least using an OEM ICP........up to you I guess, if it's a yuuuuge savings then I can see why you might go cheaper on the AM pigtail.
Just be sure the AM pigtail comes with heat shrink for the three splices.

 

I look at it this way,how much is your time worth? I know mine is worth a whole lot and I HATE doing the job twice ,plus the aggravation of it bringing on another problem.

 

Make sure it has the little white clip inside that keeps the 3 pins separated.
