It is a motor craft item! Will be replacing the old one soon.

Part fit and worked just like the original part I replaced it with that was replaced by Ford under recall many years ago. The quality of the sensor was just like the I one that Ford uses but without Ford part number.

My 97 ford f250 HD seems to not like cam position sensors if they are not genuine. These sensors seem to stand up to the test and quality, they appear to be a genuine oem product for the 7.3 OBS fords.

This items is not easy to install, but it fits and works well on the 2002 Ford F-250 Diesel 7.3 L pickup.

Worked good I had a stutter and hot start issue shaking while driving this seemed to clear it up idle still fluctuating I’m not happy about but it seemed to make a good difference in the way my truck ran I was a little nervous at first I’m overall happy hope it last longer then 3 month like the one I bought at the dealer that failed in 3 months

My truck began throwing a CEL and dying shortly after. Would immediately restart though. Checked for DTC's only to find none! After a bit of research I determined it was the CPS, so bought this OEM Ford part. Was pretty easy to replace and took only 20 minutes on my back under the truck. Have driven it several times since with no issues.This is the gray second gen CPS used in Ford's recall, and when I took my old one out I saw it was also gray, so I must have had the recall done many years ago. I have 195K on my truck, and I am the original owner. This is the first time I experienced this problem, but in reading forums it sounds like it's a common issue with the 7.3's. I highly recommend this part.

The camshaft position sensor is the Achille's heel of the Navistar International 7.3 diesel engine. The first time I had to get one replaced was in a 2000 Ford Excursion that caused me to miss a day's work of pay and cost hundreds for the part from Ford and hundreds more from a local diesel shop for the installation. During the next couple years I replaced this sensor so many times I got to where I could swap it out blindfolded in the rain in ten minutes.Thankfully, the cost of this part has come down to a reasonable price. This one installed perfectly on a 2002 Ford Excursion 7.3. Not that it was physically easy for me, it was very challenging. Oddly, the sensor I removed had engine oil on the section that should have been sealed from the elements. There was no obvious damage to its o-ring so I don't know how that happened but I expect that could ruin one of these.To keep contamination from killing this new sensor I coated the o-ring and a little beyond just on the part that remains exposed in a liberal layer of dielectric silicone grease. In the early 2000s I used to have these sensors fail from as little as a splash from a puddle. Unfortunately, silicone didn't work back then but there has since been a TSB so I assume all sensors being sold now are updated and more reliable.Symptoms prior to the old sensor's failure included the engine sometimes dying while driving, a rough idle, and possibly was causing hard bucking in the mid to upper 2,000 RPM range. Ultimately, the engine would no longer start and was throwing multiple codes that included one for the CMP but I still didn't know for sure what was causing the no-start issue. After checking battery cables, DTCs and fuses I decided to try installing this new sensor.Since installing this new sensor none of those issues have resumed. The idle is smoother, even with the PHP Hydra in the low idle whisper mode, which was where it previously idled the worst. Also no more no-start issues or DTCs.I've had this truck only a few months but as soon as I bought it I ordered this sensor and stuck it in the glovebox. The engine being unable to start was a sudden and unexpected issue and I'm glad I had this part on hand. Every 7.3 owner should carry at least one new CMP sensor with them at all times. My second one of these just arrived and is already in the glovebox. Hoping this sensor will last many years. I expect I will update if and when it fails.

Fast shipping, perfect fit. Truck cranks better with this replaced.

I purchased two of these sensors - one for installation and one to keep in the vehicle for future replacement. They came wrapped in Ford OEM plastic packaging and the gasket seemed prelubed. I needed said sensor in a general replacement strategy to solve an issue of sudden stoppage of 7.3 diesel PowerStroke engine - this a least costly/invasive step before replacing another sensor and pigtail harness. I replaced mine on the side of a road after my engine came to a dead, otherwise unexplained, stop.(Note: I am not a mechanic and do not construe any comments in this review to imply anything of the nature - anything you take from this review you do so freely under your own risk.)As such, many, if not most, 7.3 PS engine random stop issues are tied to failing Cam Position Sensors (see internet for more info...) and I’ve replaced two in the 18 years I’ve owned this vehicle. It’s an easy replacement and a reasonable price point and place to start the whittling/ruling out process of determining what is at fault for sudden or intermittent engine stoppage. Also of note: most people who replace sensors in Fords recommend the OEM (factory) replacement, and the productS I received were an OEM product.In my own situation, the replacement of this sensor did not solve an issue but having a newer sensor is better than an old one when going through a problem solving process.

To all expearenced 7.3 powerstroke owners this is the only way to go.Stick to the OEM parts for these engines. The engine just runs better and from experience aftermarket parts do not compare.
