Free ford CPS

I had to do some work at the firehall the other day and figured I would inquire about the CPS recall from over a year ago. the ford garage next door had time so I had them put it in. are the new ones as good as the old ones? I have put almost 150K on the truck and who knows how long the old CPS was in there before I got it.

You might regret changing out the old one, working unit, with the new. Time will tell and would hate to see emergency vehicle shut down on the road because of the recall. I've had two recall notices in the past year but passed it up due to reports of issues on this site.

the new ones are SUPPOSED to be better... truth is any of them can go out any time, so if you kept the old one carry it in the glove box just in case.
