[QUOTE="ChopTop84, post: 1540178, member: 19210"] black was the original sensor from international. There are actually two flavors. silver pins and gold pins. early trucks used one type of connector material, and later trucks used the other. If you mixed the two colors, you could create electrolysis and corrode the pins over time. Slime the connectors with dielectric grease to prevent. grey was the cheap-o low quality sensor ford came out with just in time for the cps recall. They were getting good money selling a hundred dollar sensor, but they only wanted to give away a 20 dollar replacement. Blue color was not designed for the 7.3. Its actually the stock sensor for the T466E motor (the big inline six in medium duty trucks and busses). Someone decided their truk ran better with blue, and it took off like wildfire. I believe there is a slight timing change between blue and the other colors. May have to do with where inside the sensor the hall effect is picked up. If you had the choice, it would be black, blue, grey in that order. EDIT: hmmm. Ford has its OWN blue now I see, looks like the replacement for the grey. I guess be careful which blue one you get.
