Killed a kitten with the truck today. Must have been hiding from the rain, started the truck and heard a god awful noise, knew exactly what it was.
Don't think it was the fan blade, it's neck was completely twisted around, looks like it got caught in the belt.
It pulled the belt off, had to remember how to put it back on.....

Thankfully I didn't kill any cats with mine!
Yesterday I changed my transmission fluid (dropped the tank). Today the rear brakes got adjusted. I had the AC Refrigerant recovered (I need to replace the compressor and the accumulator). Also changed the transmission fluid in my car today. After all this, I went and recycled the fluids.

I got one from the stealership, as I didn't want to risk replacing it again any time soon... especially when the signs of it being bad (or less than good) are very subtle, and usually attributed to something else.
I think sensors in general are susceptible to performance degradation over time (regardless of the vehicle make/model/brand)... this performance degradation in other sensors like O2, IAT, and TPS, have more obvious effect on the engine, but it would seem the the CPS is less noticeable as it is effecting the timing, and it is not until is way off that it becomes a real issue.
100K is a vehicle life, and beyond that most other sensors have been replaced anyway... if not broken changing an engine or transmission, the CPS kind of stays in the shadows and doesn't get any attention... so it kind of makes sense that it ought be changed at some point after 100K, just because.

Good idea getting the dodge part. They seem to work a whole lot better.
