killing cam sensors Solved
97 F250 truck died, owner went to ford they didn't have a sensor in stock so he went to NAPA, that one lasted about 10 miles of ranch road, went to autozoo, that one less than 5 miles, orilly's about 6 hours, ford got one in stock it lasted almost 1 day.
I have never dealt with that many cps failures in that short of a time. I understand parts store sensors being junk, but then the motorcraft one didn't do any better.

harness likes to break over the valve cover on drivers side
have to open up the loom and trace the wires back to 42pin connector looking for a break by pulling on the wires looking for a stretching of insulation

OP
Does the old sensor have the bumps left on its face?
If it does not have bump left then its getting hit by cam gear

on a side note, the same ranch had a e99 that I changed the transmission in, they sent workers to pick it up. they took the 97 instead of the 99 drove it 100 miles back to the ranch and then brought it back without any problem. I had put one of my used motorcraft sensors in it so I could start it and move it. so was it 4 bad sensors in a row including one from ford?

every time it died and wouldn't re start he changed the sensor and it ran fine.
I haven't done any troubleshooting on this truck yet, I was just curious if anyone had had multiple sensor failures before.
