TPS problems...

So I am fairly sure now that my surging problem has been the throttle position sensor all along. I have found several, but Ed (FTE Parts Guy) seems to have the best price. I was thinking that it would be more than 40 bucks though is this price correct. Also anyone who has replaced this, could you tell me how hard or how easy it is. I took a look at it earlier, and it appears to be a breeze. The link to Ed's TPS is below.

I know 2000s had to buy the whole assembly which took all of like 2 minutes to install by first hand experience. I remember someone saying that somewhere along the production in a certain year they made the TPS replacable once they used the old style up.

I think the online catalog list the wrong sensor, it has been a on going battle to get it fixed from the online catalog company. I would send me the vin and let me double check.

I think Ron's power stroke is right and it comes with the pedal.
