Shop dealerships if you can.

I found that dealer pricing varied widely on this part. If you are in an area where you can, call around to various dealers. I saw prices from 72 to 96 bucks, then bought it at Madera Ford in CA for 52.

Could find a pic either.

Blu,

I did some searching, but I couldn't find a pic either but here is one mounted on a motor, it is the nut with two wires sticking out of it to the right of the oil fill tube.

Your part number is correct.

Dark horse what did you search for on eBay? I searched "tach" and "tach sensor" and found nothing under Ford f250 but I searched the part number and found one which is 102

Mostly I searched " Tach Sensor E5TZ17B384A " on Ebay also search Google and see shows When I found the one i ordered there were several to choose from ranging from 45.00 to 100. I only found 2 listed today .
Here is the site for Uhaul that lists it :
http://epc.uhaul.com/LinkOne/Viewer/...ok=u-haul/ford

I don't know if that helps but it is the best info I have now (Remember new things get listed on Ebay all the time If your not in a big hurry I would wait a while and see if a better deal shows up.)
