Arrow POLL: ICP Sensor Failures

I'm simply surveying here so I can have a more educated guess at proactively changing my ICP sensors on my 7.3's. Tell me when your ICP sensor failed (as best as you can recall), and whether or not you were running a stock HPOP at the time of failure.

Personally, I'm at 211,000 miles on one engine with no failure, and not sure of the mileage on the Ex, but no failure on it. Benjamin's just went out yesterday at about 285,000 miles.

Thanks

No failure yet on my ICP, Pete. I don't see a poll.

My truck had about 230k miles on the OEM HPOP when I noticed oil in the connector. The sensor was still working but I changed it anyway...

340,000 on mine when I got oil in the plug. Still worked but I changed it due to the oil.

162,000 miles. Just read this thread and went outside to check the plug since I haven't checked it in over a year. Full of oil so I'll order a new sensor tonight.

Related question. Benjamin just put in his new ICP sensor and the truck started up fine, but has a sort of lopey idle at the moment. He did not disconnect the HPOP lines, so I would not expect there to be any air in the system, or can it get air just from changing the sensor and require driving it around a bit to expel the air?

I changed mine around 165,000 because there was oil in the electrical connection. Was still working OK I think.

Mine at 203,300. Started idling real rough one morning, had oil in plug, cleaned it and okay. Replaced it anyway. Stock hpop.
No issues after replacing sensor.
Simple but a bit pricey.

May be a little OT, but what about a sticky IPR or replacing the IPR?
