I brought my truck to Ford and they performed the recall swap, not sure what i had before the swap. But I have since bought the black one from Clay, the new gray one that Ford gave me is now in the glove box for spare. I did notice a slight increase in mpg with the black one. Not much, but noticeable.

I have been running the F4TZ073TZ-C (International # 1876736C91) Dark Grey CPS for almost three years now. It seems to work well. I have no power mods, and tow an equipment trailer now and then. I have a service body on my 2001 F250, and run around at just over 8,000 pound GVW most of the time.
This is the unit that Robin posted about at the beginning of the thread. I noticed no difference in MPG when I installed it. I pulled out the black one that was running perfectly, and keep it as a spare. I haven't felt it was worth swapping back.

They changed it as part of the recall - why none of my trucks w/ the black CPS go anywhere near a dealer 
they will check the color of the CPS and change it if its not grey. Local dealer has swapped a bunch whether the truck had issues or not - due to the recall. Wish I could "raid" the trash can in the service dept! Ford keeps sending us letters that we haven't done the recall on ours - I just toss the letters. I'm going to see if the dealer has the newer p/n when they open this morning. Curious about the price as well.

I replaced the CPS a day after my first post on FTE "Cam Position Sensor CPS?" That was in Nov 2007 before the recall. I also did the Cruise Control Switch (Brake Pressure Switch) and switch harness replacement on my own dime (under 25 bucks wholesale). To stop the recall notifications I had the dealer inspect both and they entered it in the system and that stopped the notifications from coming. Now when using my VIN for recall search (LINK) it comes back "Currently, there are no listed recalls for your vehicle".
