Not the 7.3L too!
I just read that ford is recalling 1.2 million 97'-03' superduty trucks with the 7.3L diesel. I know there has been problems with the 6.0 and 6.4 but I always looked up to the old 7.3L. When my 5.4L grows up that is what it wanted to be.

The cam position sensor has been failing in 7.3's for years. They finally decided to put out a recall (or gov't forced them, not sure how that works).
I fixed mine out of pocket 3 years ago, and got it replaced again last week under warranty, and a check in the mail today with my original money back.

I have an 02 7.3. Guess i'll be getting a notice soon. Never had a problem with mine, apparently I won't.

I haven't gotten mine either and I prolly won't bother with it. I already replaced my CPS with the new "grey" one and have another spare in the glove box. I just don't want to bother with leaving the truck for the day.

I haven't heard about the recall. I have a 2000 F350 7.3 Hope Ford will send me something. I bought the truck new and have really never had any problems with the it except for the front hubs and the power door locks, which thanks to you guys here at Ford truck enthusiast. I was able to fix.

Got my letter on Tuesday, called stealership and made appt. for the same day.(SHOCKER) And to beat all that it was dropped off, replaced and was driving down the road again all inside a hour. Finally a good experience at the stealership!!!!!!!!!

I didn't recieve my letter yet. I was there getting some parts and they took it to the back, had it changed before I was finished with the parts guys. I have 2 gray ones in my glove box.
