    So while going up the 5 near gustine, ca my cascadia displayed two yellow engine lights so I decided to pull over and all fluids checked fine. I pulled to a ta ten mines after, once I turned it off it wouldn't come back on. I've been here for two days now trying to figure this out. I had a roadside come here pull a camshaft sensor, replaced that on top near valve cover then changed the fuel filters... Still won't run. It will crank, start and #### off right away or it won't start at all. I'm really lost, what could be the issue?!

    You state BOTH yellow lights came on. The second yellow, the one that isn't labeled, is an emissions system fault indicator. Guess what, you got screwed with the camshaft sensor replacement cause that sensor will not enable the Emissions lamp.

    You need to read the fault codes. You can find out how to display them for your model year online. Given your symptoms of the engine starting and then immediately dying I'd be leaning toward a problem with the DPF system. Could be as simple as a Doser injector problem preventing regens.

    The code i am getting is SPN 723 FMI 31 ENGINE SPEED SENSOR

    I replaced both cam and crankshaft sensors, check ecm terminal to see if it was dirty/oily, but wasnt. I towed it to Freightliner, lets see what they say

    speed sensor-wire going into driveshaft area where it meets tranny, might give it a look, it wont go if thats unplugged or yanked out

    Id even use a paperclip to bypass that particular sensor just for giggles to see if the truck runs..

    Another bit for ya, my pal with same rig had sensor take him out...He was dumping too much water on his windshield with the hose while his wipers ran, water took out a sensor that lives up top near the hood/windsheld

    Fingers crossed for ya

    you should check sensor supply 5 v before changing sensors. I feel its a wiring issue or something with acceleration pedal .
