Changing the DPFE is like replacing a gas cap IMO.

You mean besides Airtex (#5S2047) and Standard Motor Products (#VP17)?

Ford $103.38
Autozone $27.99
Standard Motor Products and Airtex $24.79+$6.50 shipping.
If Ford parts are that much better I'll buy it from Ford but could the
quality be about the same from the other places?

Try another Ford dealer, I got one in NJ for about $30. Can't see why
the price is jacked so high. I'd buy the Autozone unit, you can get
three for the price of one Ford unit and one will probably last just as
long.

I think you'll find that they all come from the same OEM supplier. Every one I've
ever bought, regardless of the name on the box, had an area where the Ford engineering
number had been ground off.
