new cps
Is it possible that replacing a grey cps with 287000 miles on it with one of internationals black ones would make a huge difference? It seems the truck idles much smoother, and accelerates a little more smoothly... May be my imagination... I did change my oil at the same time.
I am starting to wonder if it was on its way out.

I just ordered a couple new black cps's from Clay, 1 to install and 1 spare, haven't changed out the old one yet but will let you know if I experience the improvement in performance. Plan on installing tomarrow, so I'll post back the results.

I think the international black one is worth putting in. Mine is all around running smoother and stronger. The long trips I have made since the install have shown to be better economy wise too.

Just got back from test drive after CPS replacement, and I agree. The black CPS makes a difference. Starts and idles smoother, and when I put my foot into, wow, 80 MPH in no time flat. Well worth the cost and the 10 minutes to install.

I also got mine changed today I did not drive it just made sure it started. I hope it idles smoother mine seems to be getting rougher over the last year. I put in the international one I got from Clay. I was actually physically diff than what was in there (the ford replacement).

One of my trucks received a little more love than the other one though....it also got some new up-pipes, FRx, oil change, fuel filter change and 4 turbo housing bolts (originals were missing)
When I finished last night, it ran much smoother than before and seemed pretty peppy.

I ran that one too for a while and found I lost about 1 mpg although the idle was smooth. So far the original black one has been the best for me.
