Thottle Position Sensor Replacement
The TPS in my 1996 is acting up periodically. I ordered a new one. The new one that is suppose to be for this truck turns out to be quite a bit different, about the only thing that matches the old one are the mounting screw holes.
In researching, the dealer tells me that the TPS I have is obsolete and the only way I can replace it is to purchase the entire throttle assembly for the cost of $450.00. Has anybody experienced this problem and are there any suggestions as to solving it next to buying the complete assembly?

I think Ford changed the accelerator assembly in 96. The Dorman TPS shows applications for 96-97 only. It's possible you have the old unit even though your truck is a 96.
Here's an old thread with pictures of the newer assembly
