    Do these have Motorcraft written cross the module like the original?

    I've had two TFI's fail in the last 3 year, Motorcraft ones. Now thanks to ZR, the Fatfoxx relocation kit was installed at the end of the fall.
    This spring we're hoping that fixes everything. Last 2 drives before it went away were good.

    Did you buy those 2 Motorcraft TFI's at a Ford dealer or online?
    I've read of people buying Motorcraft TFI's online and they were junk.
    They came in a Motorcraft box but the module was probably not genuine Motorcraft.

    Maybe the quality has gone down even with the dealer ones.
    Who knows.
    I still have the original TFI with about 207km.

    Will let you know on Thursday when one ordered arrives. Several people are saying they've got the newer number and they are not marked as Motorcraft on the module.

    I think one came from Rock Auto and one from LMR, both said Motorcraft, Part #DY 1284. And reviewing my timeline, it was 2 of them over the last 6 years not 3 years.

    If my TFI dies,I'll only buy one from a Ford dealer.
    Hopefully less chance of getting a dud.

    Pretty sure Ford relocated the TFI off the distributor for 94-95.

    I will likely order a back up from Ed at Parkway Ford.
    Though I hope with the relocate to the fender, I'll never to have to worry about it again.

    Another important factor is not to use dielectric compound which some recommend, instead use thermal compound paste for improve heat transfer. Get a quality paste like Arctic Silver 5.
    After doing much reading regarding the TFI module, last summer I removed the original module cleaned everything up and applied the thermal paste. Hopefully this will make a difference.
