Good to hear, Scott!
Tell him to get one of the less expensive ones (I got mine on E-Bay) for a spare. You don't want to get caught, again, without one.

hi, i am new here, and i am reading to learn more about these trucks. I was just wondering if someone could tell me what is a CPS ? and maybe some other abrievated common items you guys refer to.
thanks

Cam Position Sensor. This tells your computer when to fire the injectors as well as a few other things. There is a Crankshaft Position Sensor that does some of the same things. They both are engine timing related. I think you are looking at the Cam sensor as most here also look for that.

dave you are right about the CPS but the 7.3 does use a crankshft sensor... the 6.0 has both cam and crank.. good to hear that the rig is back on the road....

Thanks Big, I knew it was something like that. My old roommate had a CPS go south on his truck.
