CPS Failure on I-95

I was traveling I-95 North in Northeastern NC at 70 MPH when the engine bucked and hiccupped 3-4 times, set the SES light on and shut off. I was able to fire it back up and limp to an exit and it happened again before I reached the exit. I coasted to the top and got off the interstate. I had a spare CPS in the glove box, changed it out and the truck ran fine afterwards.


It was a 10 year old "black" International 1825899C93. What is the recommended replacement for this CPS for the modern day?


The new CPS also took care of a low RPM 42 MPH engine skip that I first thought was a tire balance issue!

A long answer would be to read this thread - http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums...blue-cam-position-sensor-perdels-test-257398/

The short answer is the black is still the best but unavailable. The dark blue comes in second, and the Ford recommended grey comes in a distant third. All of the non-international brands come in so far behind the pack it isn't worth considering. For example, some people have got the Echlin CPS to work by adding about a half pound of ferrite chokes to various wires. None of that is needed with the International CPS line.
