Performance CPS?!
I went to the ford dealership to grab a spare cps for my 2002 7.3 I bought recently, found out the price, and decided to get it later.
Then I came across this one on the web: http://www.puredieselpower.com/catal...oke-p-126.html
Anyone have experience with this one?

Do a search, there is a huge thread on this. I will add that my blue one is my spare. If you dont trust e-bay, you can go to a local International dealer and buy one for 120 bucks.

I was standing in the international dealer and asked about the blue. The parts manager says they throw all the blues off of the bigger trucks away and replace them with the black? I dont get it.

i was told they didnt work well with our mods. there ok for a spare if you need one as they will make the power stoke run better but not last as long as the black ones...

I put my blue one in about 6 weeks ago. Mileage stayed the same or went up by a couple tenths. The idle is better and the engine is overall quieter. I've done the intake, exhaust and the Hypertech before doing the CPS and so far see nothing detrimental using it. I have a black one as a spare. The only difference is the blue one has a slightly stronger magnet over the black one. I'll see how long it lasts....
