    Dang im on other side of country. Is freightliner the same design as pete?. Why does that cause u to derate when unplugging the sensor? What a bad design . i ran without a coolant sensor for probably 3 months . only a light on .

    I'll buy both. The plug can't be more than $20. Plus 2 gallons of anti freeze. It be around a $100+ to fix.

    Once you cut those leads, you're going to change the sensitivity to the ecm.

    Don't do that. It's the sensor.

    Bad for drivers.

    Good for Freightliner parts and service providers.

    So no motivation for Daimler to update the programing.

    Had a 2016 shaker, ran it for months with the level sensor unplugged. Was the lead harness gone bad. Never had a problem while it was unplugged.
