People has had problems with the parts store CPS. Don't know what the difference is but I would get one either from IH, or the dealer.

Someone may tell us the difference.

Yeah the parts store versions are not the International ones and have been having issues..

Your truck is undoubtedly on the recall list. Have a local dealer replace your cps.

thanks guys.i probably should have had it just towed to the dealer.

Cps
 
I wouldn't have it towed unless its just undriveable as it is. Reason is even though the CPS is under a recall there is no guarantee the dealer will pick up the tab for the tow. If you don't mind the cost of the tow then this isn't a big deal.

What I've found is the only ones that work reasonably well are the Ford & Navistar CPS's - I've tried NAPA, Federated & Advance w/o too much success.

Makes me wonder if Ford/Navistar are having them screened (Electrically) in some way that the other parts houses don't know about. I can't imagine too many people are in the business of making these.

Mine truck was dying soon after startup about a mile or so down the road, just quiting. Seen the recall, made an appointment, done in 45 minutes.
