ye ole CPS

[J L Dunn]

I found Ford OEM sensor on eBay for $55+; called several places in the Kingwood/Humble, TX area to see what it would cost to replace on my 1999 F250 7.3L Stroke. Ranges from a quote of $188 at Anderson Ford near Cleveland to $700 at Sullivan's Auto in Kingwood. What a range!

My inquiries about this item tells me that it is a 10 minute job with a 10mm socket, and removal of the serpentine belt is not necessary.

Anyone have any experience in changing out said part, and what do you think of the quotes I had received?

Thanks,

J L Dunn

If you have two hands, a screwdriver and a 10mm socket and a ratchet and 10 minutes free time, change it yourself and save the 188-700 dollars.



Did they really say 700?

Way to simple of a repair not to do it yourself..........

I keep a spare in the truck at all times.

If you are going to be changing your CPS, you might also consider this International part. It worked better in my 2001 than the stock Ford CPS. http://www.dieselpowerproducts.com/ford

700$??? Do they even know what the cps is? That would be like 4000$ an hour since it only takes ten mins or less.-mad -mad

1.) Unhook electrical (about as difficult as unplugging a lamp from the wall outlet)

2.) Unscrew 10MM bolt and remove.

3.) Pry CPS out of it's hole with screwdriver

4.) Put new CPS into the hole

5.) Re-install 10MM bolt, torque snug, not too tight

6.) Plug back in electrical.

It should take longer to get the tools ready than to actually do the job...

$180 is ridiculous. $700 is beyond comment.
