Day in the life of a Owner Operator DEF Quality level sensor goes out while Getting loaded!!

What's up TH-cam Family, in this video the Def quality sensor goes out while I was getting loaded, I had to cancel my loads, but we were able to fix it that night. Just another day in the life of a Owner operator, trying to Survive. Truck, 2017 Peterbilt 579 Cummins Isx.

Happened to me last week on my KW T680. Had replaced the DEF Quality sensor last year. Dealer kept my truck for 32 days for a $300 part. Same thing last week but my mechanic replaced it same day. It's a pretty stupid design on the Kenworth. Your supposed to drop the Def tank.

Very informative video you have Bro. Keep it up and drive safe👍🏼

[@RobertsLife]

Thanks bro, I appreciate it.

[@nitowlman]

I am having that issue right now with my 2016 Kenworth T680. I'm in Liberal, KS. Did it on us54. The truck just died on me. Was able to make it to Liberal.

[@RobertsLife]

They need to do something to make these sensors more reliable.

[@nitowlman]

@Big Rob 100% agree. Thank you for the video. I'm glad (figuratively) that someone else has experienced this before and knows what the issue is.

[@Brsrafal]

i'm a company guy got same truck more comfy then freightliner mack every once in while def stuff gets screwed up its hard to get truck into regen very important

[@RobertsLife]

Do you idle the truck? These truck are all about preventive maintenance. If you wait until the problems come to maintain it, it's to late.

Mines came on today I made it all the way to Peterbilt 2 hours from my house Ana said limp home mode maximum derate. Still waiting

[@rodbradford1847]

Question hopefully you see this assp. I’ve dealing with this issue for the past 2 months I’ve had the dozer changed def pump and filters 10k in the hole. My question is. Since it’s not the pump or dozer it’s this my problem.

[@RobertsLife]

What code are you getting? Is it doing what mine was doing?

[@marcelopozzi3924]

Did you order the cable that goes from your computer to the truck's port, online?

[@RobertsLife]

I bought the def quality level sensor from Rush Peterbilt in Houston Texas. Be careful buying online, there's a lot of fakes, especially on Amazon and Ebay.

Hi Rob thanks for this video.
That’s computer is yours and what is the program I replace the same part last night in a truck stop and I can not take the limp mode out any recommendations? Tia
Thanks

[@RobertsLife]

The program is called cummins insite. You need to have a computer that meets the requirements of the program, Google cummins insite computer requirements. Did you swap the sensor without reading the code?

[@lazylazy1536]

I have a Paccar. I call the dealer and they told me pretty sure it was the lever sensor because the code that I get was def poor quality.
So I replaced and drain all the def and still is on limp mode!!
Thanks for the help and the video!!

[@RobertsLife]
