a bum with money Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Was checking the price of a new TPS and there is quite a bit of difference in prices and There are numerous different brands as well. I was at oreillys Web site and was looking up a TPS for my 4.0l. And noticed that for the same engine, there was 2 available parts from BWD. 1 was $88, and the other was $49. The cheaper one was from the P series of BWD. What's the Difference? Bryce . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Bwd is the worst of them all there are Mopar sensors out there you just got to look for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 BWD, either series, is worse than nothing at all. I have literally never had a part of theirs last a year before failing. Avoid at all costs. I don't really have a positive attitude towards any aftermarket part, but I have a special hatred for Broken When Delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the best way to get quality parts is to go mopar, or if not available check here for user opinions. Bryce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce Yep. BWD might get ya home in a pinch....then again it might not, lol. I've found that NAPA electronics aren't too terrible, but a lot of my spares come from the local pull-a-part. They usually charge $3-10 per whatever and I'll either bench test it or just swap it in and see if it works. If not, take it right back and they'll credit ya (which I can use on another one!).

Tex06 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Dunno about offroading but I keep a TPS, MAP, and CPS near at all times. Just in case :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rearview Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Dunno about offroading but I keep a TPS, MAP, and CPS near at all times. Just in case :) How do you get the CPS in? I have to undo the tranny cross member and drop the tail of the trans to get at the bolts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex06 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Long extension x2 and a dab of grease or a piece of tape. Usually takes about 7 minutes. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex06 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Oh and a wobble extension. Very important tool to own. Mine older ones are snap on, newer ones are harbor freight. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Mesa XJ Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Someone told me to access the CPS from the engine bay by removing the air cleaner box and hoses, he said it's easier to access it this way. I've never tried it, always used the socket extension and swivel joint route. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
