2004 Cummins TPS

[Fastass350]

Anyone had good or bad luck with the aftermarket replacement accelerator position sensor on a Cummins? My 04 is starting to act up so I’m going to pick one up to keep handy, I need to clean the connections well and make sure that’s not the problem first, but I want one handy in case it fails. Just curious if there’s any to steer away from.

I’ve found factory parts are usually the best.

You will be way better served with factory. Had a 2004 and went through 4 or 5 aftermarket TPS and finally went back to factory and it worked until I sold the truck.

Factory isn’t available any more

Have used this one on many customers pickups. Just needs to be the one mounted to the engine. There is a little setup to use it.

I used this one on my last 01 for about 60k miles. No issues when I sold it. https://www.dnrcustoms.com/store/p199/Timbo_APPS_Sensor.html

Its possible its the same one as above. You will need a multi meter to set it up IIRC.

I went with this guys sensor after doing some research 2-3 years ago on my 2004 Cummings. Easy install, only thing you need to do if your engine is chipped is dechip it install sensor, then rechip it. Ask me how I know🤣, I dechipped mine and it would idle fine but had no power to drive once I rechipped ran great. And I run the Smarty programable software.👍
I always run the low end horsepower from Smarty’s so I’ve never dechipped it then readjusted the APPS/TPS sensor.

Thanks Boss, that was exactly the info I was looking for. I have a smarty jr in there now, so that’s easy enough. That guy has a great write up I’m glad you shared it!  Thanks again.

All three links are the same sensor. It works well. I  have one on my 2000 Cummins dodge also.
