Brother, you just solved a mystery I’ve been dealing with for 3 months!!

[@Tipsy652]

Used to work for cat in the R&D doing drivability and ADEM III ecm development for over the road truck engine. So happy to see those cats still on the road.

[@brandoncherry1651]

I always had a spare cam position sensor in my glove compartment.

[@jordirosales7357]

Thank you very much for the information god bless 👍🏽

That annoying dash buzzer is why I will never own a Freightliner. I do think they are good trucks. But, I cannot stand those buzzers. 😮 😢

This awesome exactly what I found out in PA with mine boss was like how'd you know what was wrong said well you do this trick and told me cylinder 6 injector wiring so I popped valve cover and bingo loose Injector wire....glad someone put this out here for whoever researches finds it very helpful tip

[@TruckerRealDeal]

Right on, thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Good video. I had a similar issue with my '95 Western Star. My truck shut down on me as I was leaving the yard and heading to the fuel station. I'll see if I can get a code off the dash using the same method that you used. However, my problem turned out to be a bad priming pump. Apparently, it went bad with the previous owner and he just used some type of putty to try and seal it. Well, the putty finally got to brittle and allowed air into the system. In any event, I completely overlooked that and replaced the cam sensor. I keep the old sensor in the truck for back up now.

Great video, Thanks for sharing. Great information to know.

I have a 1LW 3406E and Ive been having a check engine line come on for about 2 seconds and goes off when I accelerate sometimes and when the shop plugged it in the computer it says it's exactly this issue, the speedometer sensor thing, so I guess this is what I need as well. Thank you for this info.

[@danielclark5049]

That's a lot easier than on a detroit. It's a pain in the ass trying to get behind that air compressor.

[@TruckerRealDeal]

Sheesh…that makes me happy knowing that.

[@DCigar]

Yet another reason cat is better than my n14… they stick that sucker down deep where you need a special sensor socket or cut your own socket in half to get it out.

[@sams7655]

Cool video, thanks for the info. I found one (not cat brand) for 55 on ebay.

I will change 4 sensors and the harness preventive. The other ones remaining will be done next check. I will keep the old ones.

[@TheMeChaNic55]

I had an issue with my 3406e after changing batteries . I mistakenly shorted the negative ecu wire on the positive terminal and my truck would crank but not start. I thought that I fried my ecu but I fixed the issue by unplugging the cam position sensor, cranking the motor then plugging the sensor back in. The ecu must of went into a safe mode and this somehow reset it. Another thing to note is before I fixed it my rpm gauge did not go up while cranking.

Hey bud did the engine light up when it played up bro Mark is my name from PRTH WA

[@RichieDee773]

Would this work on a kenworth t600 ?

[@lowlife_ct1]

Had to change the same sensor on Monday. Cam position had me stuck for a day in Arkansas. Curious though, did you lose dash RPM as well? In my International I lost RPM's and thats what sent me on that path

[@TruckerRealDeal]

Glad to hear you got it figured out, hopefully you saved money doing it yourself. Now that I think about it, it was acting a little wonky, slow to respond and eventually stopped working but stayed the same after I changed the sensor. I changed my gauge and had no more issues, but the gauge worked fine in another truck oddly.

[@david.drambareanu]

Can those sensors be cleaned up with electric specific solvent and ultrasound cleaner mashine you find at harbor freight?

[@AB-fq7yx]

Some of them

[@cintroberts6614]

They ripped your pockets out.

[@carloscamarena8748]

Bro , was up with this washer ? N what does it help on if u put it on?

[@sams7655]

Needs correct spacing so metal gear can't hit sensor.
