Great Matt, remember to take the sensors loose now and put anti-seize on them, not the copper type, and don't forget your 13mm flare wrench. By the way, mind giving us a ballpark figure as to how much they are now?

I have had three (3) to go out on my 2012 Lariet with less than 45K miles. In fact, I had two (2) to fail within 72 hours of one another. I was out in the middle of the country on the last two so I had to screw around with wasting time waiting on a wrecker and a trip to the dealer. No cost out of pocker but just a pain in the butt.

That's a decent price. Around what I paid for mine.

EGR SENSOR ?1-4, 13mm flare wrench
Whats the part# ?
Are they all the same for each postition ?
Where are they located ?
The reason I'm asking is we are readying for a cross country RV trip and my truck only has 4,500 miles. But I want to prepare. Anything else 6.7 specific I should carry besides DEF and my scan gauge.
Thanks in advance for any reply.

I had a 2011 F-250 and seemed like in the 50K miles I drove the truck It needed at least 8-10 sensor changes. I finally deleted the egr and dpf equipment never had another code or stuck on the side of the road getting my clothes dirty changing sensors. Sold the truck to a friend now it has over 100K on it still deleted and no issues. My 2015 has almost 10K on it with no sensor problems so far, if it does I'll do the same to it. The new truck seems to have several more sensors in the dpf and scr than the first gen 6.7 does.

I compared resistance from the old sensor to the new sensor and the results are as follows:
New:
Between terminals: 217 ohms.
Between each terminal and the sensor tip (Ground) : 7.5 and 8.5 ohms
Old:
Between terminals: 213 ohms.
Between each terminal and the sensor: 33 and 35 ohms.
Has anyone else had this sensor go bad and not shut the truck down?
New:

Old:

DEF Sensors
Have a 2013 F-450 that has 21,000 miles on it. The truck is in the shop right now for the third time due to sensors. I pull a 42' 18K 5th wheel toy hauler, towed about 14-15 K miles in past year. First sensor gave me a CE light, tech told me they had a tsb on pigtail and changed it. Two weeks later, went from south Fl. to Charlotte for NHRA races and got the DEF 500 miles to empty light. Had to get it fixed in Charlotte. Now a month later, got the same DEF 500 miles to empty light and truck is in the shop again. Getting to be a pain in the butt. Should be getting truck back today.

I guess I don't understand. How is the warning to refill the DEF a problem? I need to refill my def around 5K miles because I tow as well.
The message is suppose to appear and let you know to fill the tank.
