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

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.

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.
