RE: Common sensors that go bad
The ones I replaced on an 871 were 1. intake temp just before the turbo, 2.exhaust temp (that's fed by a small tube) located top forward passenger side (can't see it from eye level it's behind some stuff). On drivers side 3. the post egr cooler temp sensor down stream from the egr valve, 4. a combo temp/pressure on the intake just before the head, and 5. the pressure differential sensor on the venturi pipe.
Guessing your engine is a little different in the layout but still using the same basic inputs.
Find them using quickserve.

in the past I had to read technical documents for motion control. each manufacturer has their own in house language. all devices work in a similar manner but getting used to the technical writers use of language always took some time.

all I could do was re-read the manuals until it clicked.

on these trucks you learn one thing. then you learn one more thing, and another after that. it takes time but what you learn doesn't leave you. it's additive and it takes time. you are investing your time and the payback isn't just familiarity but competency.

go back and read about waterloo's previous inframe. he relied on a shop to do the work. he was optimistic in his posts that the work was good and he had a winner.

then he found out it wasn't so and had to do it again. but this time he was hands on with help and advice and now he owns his truck. not just the title but the whole machine. don't know if he's done kingpins but by comparison a simple task.

let your eyeballs scan the text and don't worry if you don't get it the first time through.

the people here don't just drive trucks. it's a package deal.
