Does Ford use a good CPS yet?
Long story short, my CPS died around midnight last night. As I was coasting to the side of the road, I knew that it had to be the CPS. The truck wouldnt start so I got it towed to my girlfriends house and replaced it with an autozone brand cps this morning just to get it running again. Im still paranoid, since its an autozone brand and it starts a little funny now, probably because its not a quality cps. I have the notice from Ford for the CPS recall and figure now is as good a time as any to go get it done. I know some have said the CPS ford uses isnt as good as the original, but has anyone heard if they started using a better quality one? I figure at least it'll be better than the autobone brand CPS. I also plan to order a good one from Clay at Riffraff with my next order, but that may be a few weeks.
Thanks

The gray one is still the current one from Ford. It is not bad really, it just does not perform as good as the OEM black one. I would use it over anything aftermarket except maybe the Bosch one. Besides the gray ones are pretty cheap now at $16, so keeping a spare is easy. If you prefer a smooth idle and better mpg's order the one from Clay while he has them!
