Selling it because I put in a different one for track. Took it out at like 80K miles, no codes thrown with it, worked perfectly. It's superior because it's aluminum. The ones being made now are plastic. It's perfect for a back up in case one is over 50K miles.

If you want it, let me know. I take paypal, and can ship it out immediately.

Why is aluminum better than plastic? And if it's got 80k on it, why would someone replace theirs with it if it's over 50k? It's cheap... so I'm thinking about it. But I'd get it as a replacement for later. I could get a new aluminum one online for $100 or this for $40. But if this already has 80k on it, how much longer will it last?

Plastic is cheaper, and with the heat from these vehicles, might not be as durable. It should last at least another 40K miles, if not much more, cuz it works just fine. It's up to you.

Take care.
