This forum seemed closest to my F-450 question. Please re-direct if somewhere else is better.
I'm trying to find a replacement Fuel Injection sensor for a 1999 F-450 Diesel 7.3L engine.
The VIN is 1FDXF46F2XEA943--
I've ordered a Genuine OEM ICP Fuel Injection Pressure Sensor for 94-03 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke
but when it arrived, it doesn't match the broken part. I'm attaching a photo of the parts side by side.
The only thing I can think is that the engine is actually not a 7.3L diesel as the VIN implies.
Any ideas?
TIA

 

Ford Parts Giants has the part here at $149.34. The one you purchased from ebay at $22.80 you know it's not genuine.
Aftermarket brands at RockAuto shown below:


The pricing is more reasonable on aftermarket brands.
Further, when it comes to any air / fuel parts you have to get genuine/motorcraft. Sparks/Emission related depends on what part, it's fine to go for aftermarket brands to save cost, spark plug for instance, Motorcraft brand is rated economy to standard.


Fordpartsgiant one shown above with 8237C.
Your ebay one with A2407 shown below.


and that doesn't look like a unique serial number, you can compare that with your broken one.

 

Thanks so much for the insight. I was able to clean up the broken part to expose it's number.
A little different from the one you found, notice the threads. So I'll be searching for Ford Part # 1807330
I've already found some matches. Now going to make sure photos match.
Again, Thanks so much!

 

So it looks like you ordered the wrong part with a cone seat.

 

When it comes to sensors and actuators, why in the world do people buy off of eBay and Amazon .................................
