    I have a Cummings ISX 450 on a 2012 freightliner.. I have a sneaking suspicion from the orange light on my dash, I may soon need to change my Nox sensor..

    My question is: how hard of a job is it to swap on out? Do I need a diagnostic computer to set parameters on this, or can I pull this bad boy out of the exhaust and swap a new one in?

    I am fairly mechanical, usually do my own oil, change fuel pumps, hubs ext.. Not so mechanical that I could change out a head or rings..

    So is this a weekend project me and my boys could knock out in a few hours??

    Cummins* and nox sensors are relatively easy to change 7/8" wrench and an 8mm socket for the front nox and a 10mm socket for the rear nox. But they can range from 600 to 1200$ I would have it looked at before you sling parts, nox sensors don't need to be changed like oil, if they're bad they're bad if they're good they're good,

    The light is the solid orange one, not the one that says check across it.
