Need a new CPS--buy Mopar or save a few bucks? REALLY don't want this to strand me or have to change it on the trail. Thanks for any input!

I have had a autozone cps for 4+ yrs. No problems...yet.

Bought a spare when I thought mine was going south but never had to install it. It was about $50 at the stealership in Georgia. Where did that $100+ price come from?

VIP is pretty local to the North east of the U.S. Generally most of there stuff is no-name parts. I'd go with AutoZone.

My local Stealership. It's weird, their prices are all over the board--sometimes great, other times not.

Yeah, it's a chain up here--same stuff as AutoZone, etc. I'm sure it's the same generic part, marked up to cover the "probably will never be used" warranty. I do, though, seem to have the CPS under water more often then I'd have predicted and that seems to have led to it's issues (although it could be circumstantial, I guess, but it's always worse after a dip.

I lived in Augusta for about a year. Couldn't deal with how casual and spaced apart everything is-so back to Massachusetts I went.

So, uptight and crammed together was better??
Anyhow, I think I'd go with the 2 year warranty at AZ.

I don't know, but my Jeeps really seem to like Mopar sensors better. The price, however, seems a little steep. As I recall, the last time I replaced one it was like $62 at Autozone or $68 at Jeep....for $108 I don't know. You might call around or check a place like www.chryslerpartsdirect.com

Wow, Disgusta is the big city--how long ago did you live there? Lots of changes and many more big box stores as of late.

Hmm--assuming a "Vehicle Speed Sensor" is the same part as a CPS (which gets zero results), I would save about $20.00 through them--which is nice. Thanks.

It's not the same piece. The Vehicle Speed Sensor tells your speedometer how fast you're going. The Crankshaft Position Sensor tells the distributor when to fire.
If you can't find the part listed on the website though, you can send them an email and they'll respond with a part number and price....but they're always cheaper than my local dealer....you just have to wait for delivery.
