I am wondering if the no longer made electronic parts becoming unavaiable will leave us with really high dollar mod tj's that won't move. Thanks
Your question is exactly why I purchase spare OEM electronic sensors and specific parts to ensure I have what I need.I am wondering if the no longer made electronic parts becoming unavaiable will leave us with really high dollar mod tj's that won't move. Thanks
Well thanks all, I m scared to spend 10-15K on mods and then to end up with a statue that won't run because I can't find a $40 electric sensor
That won’t happen. This isn’t something I’d even be remotely worried about.Well thanks all, I m scared to spend 10-15K on mods and then to end up with a statue that won't run because I can't find a $40 electric sensor
What brand did you find that was made in the USA for $23?I just replaced the CPS on my Jeep and the factory part seems to be long gone. Fit guides and images were all over the place to boot. There were a few cheap $13 options but a forum member recommended one that was made in USA which is available for $23. That’s over $100 less than factory part if it was available. So far, no problems at all. A lot of original parts were or are made in Mexico and China so I’m not sure how great they are in the first place.
But China is going to squeeze us to death first. Once the take over is complete, flow will start again.Dont be disillusioned about aftermarket parts. Mopar is the finest china born junk Standard or others have.
In this forum, now, 05-06 speed sensors unavailable
NTK EH0249 from rock auto. I originally bought a Mopar part of eBay but it was not the right one even though some fit checkers indicated that it was.What brand did you find that was made in the USA for $23?
I paid $35 for a genuine Mopar CPS on Ebay. Tons of old parts that will always be around if you look hard enough. My Mopar water pump was only $80.
Both of these are good responses. There were SO many TJs built that as they appreciate in value and people keep the ones they in the road, those that are no longer fit for service will be parted. Those parts will go into the "pool" and are every bit as good as new, generally.It's a nonissue. The sensors used by Chrysler are generic for the period. Nothing special about them at all. Even if a specific sensor were to become difficult to acquire most likely there would be a compatible substitution. We have run across this issue several times in past years with the Viper sensors. That 05-06 speed sensor could easily be replaced with a standard proximity sensor with an adapter sleeve. Same thing with the OPDA sensor folks seem to have so many problems with.
