weird "hiccup"

[Tx_Atty]

today's oddity - driving home at steady 55 the truck all of a sudden jerks for just a split moment then continues normally. It felt and sounded like it cut out. I can't explain it well but it felt like I had run over something small but noticeable. I did not however. Could this be a CPS giving me warning? No other strange behavior on the rest of the drive home.

Same here, Peter. The longer it goes, the more frequent the "hiccup" will occur, until it just quits. Mine was doing it about twice a week when I replaced the CPS. Haven't had it since.

IMO, it's telling you to get some B100 from Rooster ...

jus' kiddin'

Yup, keep an extra CPS on hand, a 10mm six point socket, 3" extension and ratchet.

I think your right Richard, it must be getting the DTs! I actually had a dream the other night about filling with B100. Guess I'll look in ebay for that cheap cps. great, another $100. This month has been expensive with little or nothing to show for it. Thanks for the input; this site sure does save mechanic costs!

....DT's I'm workin on it Peter!


When my CPS went out it hiccupped a couple times one week, the next week it died twice in a row. Restarted both times, good thing I was pulling into parking lot at work. Pulled codes and got the CPS code. I replaced it after work with no problems since. Went straight to International house and bought another one for the glovebox.

Peter,

I got mine off E-bay for $50. You might just buy two for $100.

Great advice--should be a requirement for ALL 7.3 DI`s

Antonio, what did International charge you? I have to drive to Abilene this weekend and cant get the ebay one here that quick. I noticed Joat's part page has an International one listed but I didnt understand the "above/below engine 375548" part.

$89.98 + tax. I know someone that works there, they wanted $110 IIRC, he cut me a deal. "375548" is the engine serial number, I don't remember what year the change is, not sure really what the change is either.
