Hi Guys, just about to clean the IAT sensor on my 24v, are there any problems or special techniques I should know about. I am a bit of a newbie and also if I get it wrong and damage the sensor I will have to wait some time for a new one due to my location.

Any help would be great

Good Luck!

 

Thanks, the information is great should make life better, although from the look of the sensor location it wont be very comfortable, I think lying on the cylinder head is the way to go!!!

Thanks

 

Just be careful of the angle of the socket when removing it... You are right in it being a bit tricky to get to, I did it from the side trying to get under this and over that...managed to bust the plastic connection deally on the sensor. Super glue held it together while waiting for the replacement to show up... $30 from the dealer and had to use the Cummins part number to order it.

Thanks Dave, I tryed to take the sensor out over the weekend but couldn't get my hands in to take of the power cap, you would think with such a big engine bay that removing things would be relatively easy, but hey things don't always go to plan. I might just take it to a truck garage it might be cheaper than me breakin one.

Thanks for te help guys.

I took mine out the other day and it wasnt that dirty at all. my truck has 93,000+ miles on it.

 

I cleaned mine up a couple of months ago, and essentially had to lay over the engine to do it.

Had over 130,000 miles at the time. Didn't look bad at all.

Thats exactly how I have to clean mine....lying on the valve cover....

Kurt, make sure you check the resistance values witha multimeter as described in the link above.
