I saw where the NHTSA was investigating the 05 - 07 but I haven't heard anything about 97 - 03.. Do you have a link? I didn't see it on CNN.


Edit: Found the link.... http://money.cnn.com/2007/12/06/auto...ion=2007120614

 

hey thats interesting the guy i bought my truck from installed an HP Navistar cam sensor on it... Im covered!!

 

It's the same thing as the Ford sensor. Either way, you should always keep a spare.

 

There are a lot of 7.3L engines on the road. That's gonna' be a big recall.

 

ehh. when they start fixing them i will just take it and have them put a new one on anyway.. couldn't hurt

 

Still, keep a spare.

 

Ditto... you never know the new one might be worse...

 

Why? Do cam sensors die often?

 

Yes. My last one died after 8 months/17K miles. Not sure how many miles were on the one before that.
