Gray CPS?
I am trying to get a new cps for my 99.5 f250 and I noticed that there is an updated version of the cps that is gray and the part number ends in B instead of A. Anyone know anything about this?

I have my new one, not yet installed. A buddy of mine installed his new grey one this weekend and says his truck runs like a top. He was having PS trouble, and the new one took care of it.
dfuser is also selling them, delivered for $25.

As far as durability, no one knows yet. The new CPS is supposed ot have a wider signal pickup range, which would make you think that there would be more tolerance built into its sensitivity... ie... might run longer between failures?? On the other hand, is it going to screw with the engine timing because it picks up the signal more easily?? So far, I haven't heard of anyone complaining about a decline in running performance after installing the new one.

Well, I talked to Diane and she said that when they get the equipment moved, Jody will do some testing on the new CPS since that is going to be a standard that his tunes will have to work on

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Well the blue is for the DT466 so they will still be selling that application for their regular price. I havent heard if IH is also getting the new CPS for their T444E application.
From what I have learned it basically is the magnet from the 466 CPS with an improved circuit board to last longer.
