I replaced the windshield linkage over the weekend, wonder if I hit that rig or something.
anyway the faults went away and I did 475 miles today without a hitch.
if that thing gives me a code in the morning tho, can I run the truck without fear of screwing something up?
til I can replace it...

Yes. Sometimes it will short out internally and short the 5 volt sensor supply. This 5 volt supplies other sensors too. If this sensor shorts out it can possible cause some other sensors to read inaccurately and that sometimes leads to low power. If you run into this, try unplugging it.
hd99_fatboy and VisionLogistics Thank this. -
roger that bro, thanks, I'm going to call the local shop tomorrow and get the sensor.

dang $102.00 for that sensor... picking it up tomorrow.
no other problems today tho, no codes , no faults, ran good all day. -
I know that sensor has been revised about 5 or 6 times! LOL. Cummins knows they don't last long. They are trying...
hd99_fatboy Thanks this. -
well I installed that exhaust gas pressure sensor, no faults, so I guess problem solved.
thanks all for the input.
so HeavyD, back to my other question, with the grinding noise I was telling you about.
is there some grease point that is maybe being missed in or around the clutch assembly?
or perhaps the u joints for the drive shafts...?
reason I ask is that it seemed to be less in the rain the other day, leading me to think that something isn't getting greased somewhere... -
The only grease fittings are at the release bearing for one, and two for the cross shaft, (one fitting on each side). But they only move when you push the clutch pedal. Your truck should have all rubber bushing type for the spring pins. There are bolts that hold the springs and shackles together. The bolts go right through the center of the bushings. The bushings are rubber, but have a metal collar that the bolt slides through the whole length of the bushing. It may be possible the bolt and collar are making the noise as each moves around each other as the spring flexes slightly when the truck leans into a turn. Try to spray something like WD40, or some kind of penetrating oil around the shackles and see if the noise changes or goes away.
hd99_fatboy Thanks this. -
roger that, give it a shot
-
na, getting worse now as well.
I took a look at the drive shafts, noticed I got a decent amount of heat at the hanger bearing, but only at the U joints, in other words the hanger bearing assembly itself was not hot.
but checking the others , they were about the same temp, to the touch...
figuring normal.
but I gave the shaft a turn with my hands and getting a decent clunck from the rear axle, is that normal?
and if not, could that be giving me the crunching feeling in the slow turns thru intersections, from a standing start and to some degree at around 10, 15 mph, turning under a load, 30,000 lbs?
I'm getting worried this is going to cost me a bundle, if not put me right out of business.
