Cam Position Sensor (CPS)
My '99 Powerstroke finally gave me warning that I have put off replacing the CPS for to long. Cruising along at about 60 MPH there was a violent but quick
shudder and then everything seemed fine. Really bothered me and I was uneasy until I made it back home that evening. Called the local Ford dealer yesterday morning, I am 90+ miles from the nearest International parts dealer, and to my surprise he said there had been a drastic price reduction. He said the part is less than $28.00. I told him to pull 2 and I would be right down. For $59.99 I
got out the door with 2. A new one installed and a spare and the tools for roadside replacement in the tool box. Quicker cold starts and smoother idle. I
had never changed one before and it took longer then the 10 minutes I have seen posted but 30 minutes later it was installed and the truck was idling smoother than ever before. If you don't have a spare and your local Ford dealer is a lot closer then an International parts dealer then now is the time to get that spare CPS you my have been putting off.

The CPS at $28 is a little steep in price. The local Ford dealerships HERE have it for $15.
