    Our Cummins engines have a return back into the reservoir. It's not like the old days where the reservoir was just an overflow collector, todays engines include the reservoir tank in the flow cycle of coolant.

    I drove a 98 International with the same engine, and 1.1M miles. It did the same thing, with a steady stream of bubbles. Oil analysis showed no problems after the first oil change, and it never lost coolant. Seems like that's normal for the N14.

    make sure it is a round trip ticket, in case you get kicked out on the side of the road.

    You should be able to read the codes to tell what the problem is. Yes it could be low coolant. It could be your sensor.
    Did your truck shut off, Disconnect your sensor clean the connection and plug back in.
    Did the SEL turn off with truck. Did it come back on when you restarted. Did the CEL come on at all.
