CrankshaftPS
Hello,
First of al i hope you can read my english
I guess its a litlle stange,but thats because i,m from the netherlands.
Ik own a grand cherokee ZJ 4.0 1997
Now i would like to know your opinion on something.
Is it wise to exchange my CPS (crankshaft) even its not broke.
I drive alot with a horse trailer and it would be a nightmare when my jeep left me standing with a broke CPS.
I do not have any problems with it at this moment,but i read al lot of problems with it,and all of them came out of the blue.
I have ordered a cps from the states (and recieved it) Thats another question i have.i bought the *cheap* version (delco) Was that a smart move??
So that all for now i guess.
I hope to get some info from you all.

Crank position sensor A crank sensor is a component used in an internal combustion engine to monitor the position or rotational speed of the crankshaft. This information is used by engine management systems to control ignition system timing and other engine parameters. Before electronic crank sensors were available, the distributor would have to be manually adjusted to a timing mark on the engine.

Just my opinion but I would just carry the new one with me. No point in changing it out until necessary. Just familiarize yourself with the swap out procedure.
