    Hi guys,

    I’m stuck at the Freightliner dealership as my truck went into derate due to faulty Nox sensors. These guys are charging me 10 hours of labor for nox sensors replacement and regen… Is this normal?? Other forums mention that it takes 1.5-2 hrs to replace them and up to 1hrs for regen

    You are getting ripoff. Took me like 30 mins to replace my outlet Nox Sensor and that is including watching the Step by step tutorial on Youtube. The Inlet doesn't look look like to much work either. I say 3h max including regen.

    Changing the sensor generally doesn’t take too long. If it’s a Detroit and they followed all the troubleshooting steps,then it can take time.

    Depends on how hard it was to get out. Sometimes they have to cut the bung off and weld a new one on.
