Well, I picked one up at the local international dealer this am. $107.09 plus tax for the 1807339C92 CPS. No price breaks here since they didn't know me from Adam 
. It took all of 10 min to get it in and the ol girl seemed to fire up just a tad quicker than normal. I took some pics with the factory original Ford CPS next to the new International blue CPS and about the only physical difference I could see was the new blue CPS was slightly tapered on the end where the Ford was more square. I had set both of them on a metal table in the shop and noticed that the new blue CPS had a much stronger magnet pull on the table than what the Ford CPS did. I'll have to get some miles on it to see if it has any noticible perfomance ++ on my PSD.

Missed it earlier. It is a 10mm socket. Also, some dielectric grease on the connection is always a good idea. It took me longer than 10 min, but I think it's because I was pondering where it get's tricky and complicated, which it never did. When I go to swap in the blue one, I'd say it'll take me less than 10 min.

Anyone have a pic of where this thing is located for those of us who don't even know where to find it?
I can get the 10mm socket and extra CPS, but it won't help if I don't know where to find the OEM.
Thanks!

It should work on your truck just fine. There is a rubber o-ring that you'll want to be careful not to cut when you're installing it. Other than that, just take your time and make sure you pull the old one straight out and put the in new one straight. It is an electronic sensor, so you don't want to go kicking it around the garage.
