cps '96 7.3L

Are the CPS sensors interchangeable for years '96 and '97. I just spoke with the Ford parts dept. and the price for a '96 is $135.00 and just $25.00 for a '97, price just reduced last week. I've heard there are different metals internally on the sensor and they may not be compatible? Any one have any thoughts. Always looking to save a buck or two for the next project.

yes they are interchangable. the contact material for connector is different but it won't hurt anything
