    okay, so perfect driving on cruise and all of a sudden truck shuts off and water goes out from the overflow line or whatever its called. So first thing i do is bypass the coolant sensor, still no luck. (water does not come out any more). Already replaced fuel pump, oil pressure sensor.


    Can someone please help me with this problem! it is a n14 cummins red top.

    Try replacing the radiator cap. Water isn't coming out probably because it's empty.

    Did you really replace the fuel pump and oil pressure sensor to try to fix the coolant spill?

    You could have combustion pressure going into the coolant system,

    Can you define "perfect driving" we might be able to help you more..?

    Do you have diesel in there? Maybe you were
    siphoned and dont know? And it shut off with watever diesel was in there.

    Yes there is diesel and what i mean is the truck was driving with no problems, all of a sudden it just turned off and water leaked out of the overflow pipe. Later we bypassed the coolant sensor and it still gave that problem of shutting of after 20 seconds.

    Maybe the water messed up your wires somehow?
