Ronbo Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 After reading the thread bout Volvo boost sensors and watching the video that states that the cummins boost sensor has been upgraded multiple times, I decided to change mine out. I ordered it from N14parts.com. I should have checked Peterbuilt first. I had a hard time finding it. It is located on the rear of the intake manifold, drivers side. You can not see it and have to go by feel. Some of you will find this hard to believe but I did not have a socket to fit. I was able to get a cresent on and move it enough to break it loose. That was all I could do with the cresent. Then it was up to the channel locks. I had to remove the inner fender, relocate the air filter housing, remove a nut and bolt on wire looms. then I had to contort in ways that I never knew I could. Very difficult with a torn rotator cuff. Once the old was removed, I started the new by hand. I had an oil pressure sender socket fits perfectly. Once installed and everything buttoned up It was time for a test drive around the parking lot. Boost was indicated but did not climb as fast as before. I am leaving for Ohio on Monday. I will post the results of that leg of the journey. I do not know the numbering so I made up my own to measure ohms. Old New 1-2 3.379 m 2.189 k 1-3 4.6 m 54.15 k 2-3 4.5 m 48.97 k The numbers on the old were drifting down the longer I held the probes on the pins. Here is a link to pics of the sensors. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/psdf2rffus1zyf8/AACim7ZoDs2KtaRqDnSPatQea?dl=0 Ron C. 2013 Dynamax Trilogy 3850 D3 2000 Kenworth T2000 Optimus Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSeas Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Ron, Nice job! Any chance you took pictures showing location of the sensor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronbo Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Click on the link. The sensor is brass with a hole in it. The new one has a considerably smaller hole.

HERO Maker Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Ronbo, I think he meant the location of the sensor on the motor. Rocky & Sheri Rhoades '01 Volvo 770 2016 DRV Mobile Suites, HoustonHERO Makers Ministry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronbo Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I didn't take picture of the location. On the celect plus in is on the intake manifold rear side. The pipe comes from the intercooler to the intake manifold on the drivers side. Run your hand along the top and down the back. You will feel it. You have to go by feel.

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Any idea what size socket it would be for removing the old one?

Ronbo Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 I'll stop by the hardware store and see if they have one. I'll let you know later today Ron C. 2013 Dynamax Trilogy 3850 D3 2000 Kenworth T2000 Optimus Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronbo Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 1 1/4 is a perfect fit. 32mm is a loose fit but will work. Has to be deep socket. The new one fits an oil pressure sending unit socket Ron C. 2013 Dynamax Trilogy 3850 D3 2000 Kenworth T2000 Optimus Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Thanks! I believe I still have some of my larger sockets... Alie & Jim + 8 paws 2017 DRV Memphis BART- 1998 Volvo 610 Lil'ole 6cyl Cummins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronbo Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 If yours has been updated it will be the other socket. The video I watched says if your is more than 5 years old it needs changed as they have updated it numerous times.

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 We have a M-11 Celect Plus ISM in the Volvo. It a 1998 610 that we bought last November. No idea when it was last changed, no idea when much of the maintenance works was last done. I'm slowly working my way thru the truck, repairing, replacing everything thing that should be done. The engine seems to have plenty of boost, no lack of it. Pulls good from 800rpm all the way to 2100. The catch is that while it is a 17 yr old truck, there is only 460k on it, we have put about 20k of those on it.

Ronbo Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Find out the part number and then call peterbuilt for the part. That have always been the cheapest. I believe the m11 uses a different sensor. Ron C. 2013 Dynamax Trilogy 3850 D3 2000 Kenworth T2000 Optimus Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronbo Posted September 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Correction. I just looked. It has the same sensor. If I remember it is $84 at peterbuilt. Get the part number from Volvo.

Ronbo Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Time for performance report. I noticed a very slight increase in fuel mileage but we were up and down across Pa and Oh all day. I expected a decrease. Power wise I first noticed more power in the lower gears. As I proceeded onto the highway and was able to reach good speeds I noticed I was able to accelerate up hills I would normally have a slight decrease on. A few times my speed actually crept higher than I like going up the hills. The boost gauge was a little slower to show boost and climbed slower but I think that is due to different parameters. Overall I am extremely satisfied. I hope to show a good increase in mileage by the time I get to Hutch Ron C. 2013 Dynamax Trilogy 3850 D3 2000 Kenworth T2000 Optimus Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronbo Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I had a 250 mile move today. No crosswind but plenty of hills. I had a solid 1mpg increase in fuel mileage. I expect more on the flat but will have to wait until I get there. Ron C. 2013 Dynamax Trilogy 3850 D3 2000 Kenworth T2000 Optimus Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
