Brandy new 4500 Cummins

dang time flies. I remember when u got this truck, now its 10 yrs ago.

ya, crazy. 

102K miles on this guy, just about ready for its 8th oil change.  still looks good.  loving the tool boxes i added, should have did that 10 years ago.

so some piece of the old MAP sensor is either rattling around somewhere or went out the tail pipe?
eek
at least it's mostly soft stuff.

thats what i assumed, but now im not sure.  OEM part showed no signs of any thing soldered or broke free from 2 terminals on the sensor.  new part had the sensor (air temp?)  air flow internal to sensor. 

maybe PN i got is for gas and diesel? and oem didnt have the other sensor? who knows


i guess ill know in 4-5 drive cycles

changed sensor now yields a new code P262D immediately every key cycle now. 

"sensor ref voltage 7 circuit low"

awesome

[mr.mindless]

Is it just open? Hard to find spec on resistance to check if it’s close

[M4wdFab]

i have to double check to make sure the sensor i got is correct. 

i havent had time to investigate.  inspection due end of month also, bah



ready for hot rod season and dailys that require nothing after built.

mopar PN shows two blank pins.  dont feel like 300$ mopar sensor vs 37$ 

might try this one that says its same PN but amazon says 07-10 cummins

345$ for a mopar MAF sensor, alot of the forums are saying you must get a mopar sensor only.

30$ amazon and ebay sensors that say are compatable i guess have a bad wrap.



this is annoying.

going to do some voltage checks as procedure outlines i guess.

I buy used OEM MAF for my builds (ebay).  I never have had a bad one.  knock on wood...

i have never had a bad maf for an LS, just use what ever the donar had.  i guess 6.7cummins is special.    Even Mikey G that did the tune agrees, only mopar/contanetal work, he has them from cummins for 250$


i think im going to steal the one out of my brother in laws truck this weekend and swap it in.

[M4wdFab]

installed 4 new OE style seat covers and they look great, 99% match to OEM

ended up switching lower seat foam side to side, so my driver seat is fresh like new, and the passenger seat that had some wear that edge is now on the inside so its also good. 


next time ill have a pair of hog ring pliers on hand, i didnt realize there were ringed in pleats that i had to disconnect and connect the new fabric too in a few places. 

overall, super happy for 100$.  took about an hour to do all 4 after learning on the first one a bit. 

[mr.mindless]

Sounds like 100% win

I guess I’ve got 100k on my seat covers and new foam now. It still feels perfect.

switched back to original sensor. 

cleaned OE sensor with spray electrical contact cleaner.

no change.  bid on an OE ebay sensor, then going to dealer i guess.
