thats weird that they are doing a recall on that, i had problems with the camshaft position sensor on both my 93 probe and my 00 f-150

 

All I can say is YES!!! The cps is the weakest part of the 7.3 motor.

 

So there has been alot of problems with this?
I know Paul/Paso1 has had some trouble with his PSD.

 

Yeah its a common problem. Guys used to have to pay 120 some odd bucks to get the cps replaced. Then awhile ago ford dropped the price to 25 bucks or something like that. Its great to hear they are going to take care of this problem.

 

My 92 needs a new glow plug relay, Grrrr!

 

The CPS has been a problem for alot of people. After reading the 7.3 forums I went out and bought one and carry it in the glove box just in case. They are easy to replace but who wants to do it on the highway on a cold miserable night.

 

too bad it took so long for a recall, but good nontheless to see it being addressed!! is that the last of the '92's hiccups now Fom??

 

It should have been dealt with years ago yeah, but better late then never.

Makes me wonder what other recalls there will be in diesels later on...

 

This has nothing to do with the 92, it`s a pre-Power Stroke (without electronic injectors).

 

Yea that better now than never eh.....

 

i know, but i was wondering as you had mentioned getting some things done... just wondered of it was the last of the quirks.

 

Not really quirks with the 92, just normal routine maintenance/tune up, etc.
I had a 96 F250/302 which I got fairly cheap and spent some money on, it turned out to be a good truck so I`m hoping the same holds true here too.

 

tell me more about this '96?? still in your posession??

 

No, I sold it two years ago and now I have to watch someone that`s sorta trying to beat it to death. It`s good thing it`s Ford Tuff and just won`t die.....
