Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Throttle Position Sensor ( TPS ) now available aftermarket

[Steve St.Laurent]

FYI, NAPA now has the TPS available for the 24 valve trucks (at least for 98). Last time I bought one it was $400 through Dodge and I found it at NAPA now for $204 (less if you have an account or a buddy that works there) - http://www.napaonline.com/masterpag...KeywordCat=Throttle+Position+Sensor&VehCode=Y . This is the 2nd time I've replaced mine in 210,000 miles.

Is this the Throttle Position Sensor of the APPS?

Ther is no throttle plate on a Cummins diesel therefore it's called a APPS(Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor)

 

[wtfd6]

thanks for the info Steve! I will remember that.

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

I'm picking it up tomorrow. The manual calls it an APPS. Napa's calling it a TPS. Most use the terms interchangeably. I'll know for sure tomorrow if it's the right part.

Keep us informed Steve... . I just replaced mine a month ago, but its good to know. I've always been a day late or dollar short.

Are you sure they are not referring to the tps of the 12v? 98 had both.

We'll see tomorrow but it's listed for the 24v - I'm sure hoping! Their site does ask you for which engine you have.

That would be cool. I have bought reboxed Cummins parts from napa in the past.

Still way overpriced for the piece of junk it is - but certainly a pricing step in the right direction - hope that is for the APPS on trucks like mine - thanks Steve.

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

I picked it up today and it looks like it just replaces the rheostat itself - not the entire housing like Dodge's does. I'll probably get a chance to tear into it sunday or monday and give it a try. Will keep you up to date.

SO, you're saying it's just THIS part:

If so, still a better deal than what we've had so far - we can easily reuse the OEM housing...

If NAPA can sell the part for $204. 00... wonder if it can be ordered online cheaper?. It's usually pretty easy to beat NAPA's price.

Thanks Steve.

[JMetzger]

That looks like the exact same TPS that I replaced on my 92 Ram when it went bad.

 

[DavidC]

Looks different than Gary's.
