We run several 99 and up Power Strokes at my work. The 99 F-550 started acting up three weeks ago like CPS problems and thats what the code reader said it was. Go to Ford for a -B CPS and it lasted two days. Ford -B CPS number 2 lasted 5 days. The mechanic is think'en I must have other problems so he calls the local diesel shop. They say they have had lots of -B CPS probs but have Delphi @ $60 that works. Delphi has been in truck for 2 weeks now with no probs. Not sure how all this relates to our OBS trucks, same CPS?? but kind of brings home some posts I have read about problems with them. Guess Ill hold off on a -B for my 97SD? Was wanting a spare in the glovebox.

 

I had similar issues with the new sensor. First lasted 24 hours, second started hiccuping 2 weeks. worked fine but still hiccuped every now and then. Put it in the glove box and put my spare in. Gonna try a new connector.

 

"hiccup" is exactly what the mech said his truck was doing, LOL. Sounds to me like a -B CPS prob unless he has wiring issues also, but then the Delphi has been OK for two weeks (fingers now crossed) Does the Delphi have a good rep in our motors?

 

Is the -B CPS the Ford recall replacement?

hey, my truck has a bad new cps. the recall one. i wonder if they will make it right? i have to get one before i go to get it from trans shop tomorrow.

 

My spare has been in for months now. Not one problem!

Yes thats the one!

 

will they replace the recalled one?

 

They did for the one that only lasted 24 hours. I didn't go back for the second one. It takes them an hour to get the truck in and out and the second one they put in they cut the o-ring so I had an oil leak. Who knows maybe the o-ring was the issue to the hiccup as well.

 

I've had the replacement one in there for months now with no issues. Luck of the draw?

my stealeership allowed me to do it myself. they handed me the cps, i went out and did the swap

 

ive had mine in for about 8 months or so when they first came out with the recall one (before the dealership even got them) without a problem.
