Good To Know
Q: Will this work on older Peterbilt models? A: Yes, it is designed for many Peterbilt trucks using the same Q21-6004 sensor location, but verify your vehicle's sensor mounting and connector shape.
Q: How do I know if my speed sensor is failing? A: Common symptoms include erratic speedometer needle, no speed reading, or the engine derating due to lost speed signal. Replacing this sensor restores normal operation.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
