We could probably buy a stinkin' dealership if we could pool up all the money that has been saved!

Once you get to know Chase, you will understand what he is talking about.

The K-Y is a joke, in reference to getting bent over by the dealer

Here is a pic that I stole from someone on FTE. But FTE won't let me post the pic 2x (not sure why) so head on over to https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...first-psd.html and you will see the pic about 1/2 way down.

Wow that hurts, i know the last time i bought one it was 130 at my cost which was 2 months ago. The old connector fits so unless yours is fried no need to change it.

There's so little current running through those connections that it would be pretty hard for them to get hot.

Just use some electrical contact cleaner and make sure the contacts are tight.

ICP is ridiculously easy to change out. Disconnect electrical connection, unscrew, put new one in, screw it in...plug electrical back in. lol

Depends on the sensor. At some point Ford changed them, there is an "old" style and a "new" style.

Um, the picture is a good picture. And yes there is only one.

One of these days, we should all tally up how much we've saved individually, either from knowledge or free parts, or roadside help...and start a big thread...in the end we can grand total it.
