You need to get the GRAY one with the part number ending with "B" your Ford dealer has to sell these at a very much reduced price due to all the trouble with the original BLACK ones-the GRAY ones can be had on Ebay as well-I recently bought 2 of them delivered to my door for under $50.00.

Why change it?, it's not a general maintaince item. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. You do need to have one in you glove box for a spare. And like Supercab said, use the new gray one.

The black one from International is about 4 times the price at $100. If we can last a couple of years without people saying that their CPS is failing left and right (gray one), I will start to believe that it is a good unit.

Kupaa,
the gray one is the way to go now, for $15 to $28 depending on where you get it it cant be beat. You must have dug up an OLD thread that was talking about the blue vs black. the gray one actually looks like it has the better connections like the black so go with it. if none of the dealers on the islands have it order one from a sponsor here.

Kupaa,
Which Island do you live on? O'ahu? I use to live in Waipio Valley (O'ahu), Haliewa, and Mililani Tn. 25 yrs there, until I moved for a better paying job 15 yrs ago. Use to go thru the sugar cane fields to get to the good spots. Lucky to have the keys to the gates. Had a lot of good times in the mountains... and the beaches. Had a boat and loved to go diving (esp at night!), built my all my own fishing poles to go ulua fishing and such. And also placed a lot of nets out. Miss the place, wish I could come back, but sold the house there and could not afford to go back (yet). Still have a few friends there and family there.
