12.7 Detroit power loss when hot

Well, you found the right forum. In a bit of time the sweaty angry truckers will have finished killing their rats for the day, and be here to put on their readers, squint - cuss a bit, and chime in.

 

Central Power Systems in Salinas, KC is a Detroit shop. I have no doubt KC has a shop if you want to hook up a computer-maybe another Central Power Systems.

 

I had a truck with a 1999 S60 they have that pressure sensor on intake manifold. If the sensor go bad like mine did it tells the computer their is no turbo pressure and the computer won’t fuel the engine. Detroit Diesel said it was common for them to go bad. Mine was stuck on 30 and 15psi that’s what the gauge in dash was showed when it read 30 truck runs normal is it was stuck on 15 it had no pulling power. There was some temporary fix they told me so it looked like the turbo was making 30psi all the time. Probably a paper clip on the plug so I could get Detroit diesel shop.

 

Order one from a Detroit shop if you have to. I would think they'd have one. I've had parts shipped. It's called a MAPS sensor. I imagine you might find online too.
