I think a few other guys from here bought some too.

There isnt a problem with having a grey one unless it gives you a problem. At no point do they think they are all going to have this issue.

I got my friend down at the dealership to print it out for me. It is NOT a TSB but just a "Special Service Message" Here it is in black and white for all to see.

Please let me know if you want the info in a form besides pdf. and I will send it to you.

dam, I could not find any info on it anywhere.

should have ran a oasis.

I don't have a problem with the gray one, I hope they find a fix before I start having problems.

Thanks Nolan.

I don't think you'll start having problems Rick. The trucks that don't like the gray CPS don't like them right away. Your truck likes them so I'd suggest you pick up a couple of extra gray ones when they announce whatever "even newer" improvement.

I agree with Chris. But kinda backwards....

I think its a matter of the grey CPS liking the truck.

Or maybe it is just the right combo of grey and truck is what matters...

We need to set up a gray CPS/truck meeting group where they can find the right partner. LOL

So...would I be slighted if I told you all that I have a black CPS in my truck right now but that it ran fine on the grey?

Don't beat me up.

Very good detective work Nolan. They really don't want you to know about Any problems. The grey one seems to work fine in my truck but where can I get a black one and what should it cost?
