4C4Z12K073AB Ford Number (don't know if this is the updated one)

F4TZ12K073C Powerstrokeshop.com number (updated, I believe)

The old style CPS units ended with an "A", and the new style ends with a "B". There were none that ended in "AB".

The number is still correct it just has both A and B on it becuase I got it off of powerstrokeshop.

Sorry I didnt catch that. I'm sure they put it on there to show that their part number covers both old and new.

Thanks, folks. All I have for a reference is an invoice with the part number F7TZ-12K073-B, described as a "sensor". Just don't know exactly what it is. I'll probably just call Ford parts and ask them.

F7TZ-12K073-B is the updated CPS sensor for the 7.3L. The parts bag it comes in is simply labeled "sensor", just like your invoice.

Sounds like you have the updated CPS. It should be gray.

Thanks to PowerStrokeHD and IDMooseMan. My new CPS is gray as you suggest and Ford tells me it is indeed the updated one. (The old one was black.)

I just got the one for 96PSD and it is BlackF4TZ12K073C, the price was the same as the one for 97 PSD.
Should I return it and get the one that is gray.
