Riffraff Diesel Cam Position Sensor CPS 1994-2003 7.3L
The Cam Position Sensor (CPS) is one of the most critical sensors on your 7.3L Powerstroke. It provides the PCM with engine crank position and speed information, allowing the injectors to fire at precisely the right time. When the signal becomes weak or erratic, it can lead to poor drivability, intermittent stalling, hard starting, or even a no-start condition.
The original International “Black CPS” earned a loyal following among 7.3L owners for its excellent drivability and throttle response. When it was discontinued, many aftermarket replacements failed to deliver the same consistent performance.
Rather than simply reproducing an outdated design, we partnered with an OEM sensor manufacturer to develop an all-new CPS using modern Hall Effect technology, improved electronics, and tighter manufacturing controls. The result is a sensor engineered to provide exceptional signal stability, outstanding reliability, and the smooth performance 7.3L owners expect.
Every sensor is manufactured in an IATF 16949 and ISO 14001 certified facility, individually tested before packaging, and validated on an actual 7.3L camshaft gear to ensure consistent performance right out of the box.
Whether you’re replacing a failed sensor or upgrading from an inconsistent aftermarket unit, our Upgraded CPS delivers the quality, reliability, and confidence your Powerstroke deserves.

Cam sensor
Excellent product no issues with the install perfect fit. Much beefier look to it. Truck fired right up problem solved.

Bought to try
Bought this after reading reviews on here and in Facebook groups. I haven’t noticed too much of a difference but it may idle and run a slight bit smoother but haven’t had any problems out of it so far.

Epic
Works much better than the OEM? Smooth idle and smooth cruise at highway speeds
-
Awesome product!
Yes! The idle is smoother. The acceleration is smoother and it revs quicker. I feel this CPS will be more reliable.

Only had it in a few weeks but so far so good. I did get the three year warranty just in case. I gave it a five star cause everything else I got from riffraff has been top notch

Works as described
Very good product

Didn’t notice any differences
Product workers as it should. Didn’t notice any improvement over grey 4 oem. Don’t think it’s worth the extra price

Great Sensor
After putting this sensor in, my 96 7.3 was able to repeatedly pass the cylinder contribution test. My idle was more stable and I definetely see a small MPG improvement.
Thank you RiffRaff!
