Turbo Vane Position Sensor

I have to replace my turbo vane position sensor, as I scored the wire when removing the turbo heat shield.

I have a new sensor. Can I just replace it, or does the new sensor have to "learn" the turbo vane positions?

My truck is a 2007 Silverado (new body style) 2500 HD with the Duramax diesel.

Thanks,

Chris

  Dawn also works well. I also use Simple Green.

  So you are saying that there is a water to oil transmission fluid "heater" along with an air to atf heat exchanger? Where do I get hold of a diagram/microfiche of that routing? Is the water to oil cooler a bar plate job between the trans thermostat and the air to oil cooler? In the 2022 10L80/90? valve body there is a valve called the Cooler Thermostat Valve that gets modded to eliminate regulation to the flow to the cooler. There are two styles - the 2022 has no brass thermostat, but later versions seem to have it. Testing today after the valve body kit install, zero change in gauge temp unloaded - 180F at 84*F unloaded, so the atf heater is doing its job. The positive so far is the lag in shifting from R to D has been eliminated. There is a brass "thermostat" in the Cooler Thermostat Valve that is removed with the NextGen kit for the 10L1000 - 135F gauge temp with a 5000lb boat in small rolling hills at 85*F.

  Wonder what happened to the "MEGA"max 8.3 rumors. I haven't had any rust issues, but the wax sure is ugly. Good to hear, considering the joint venture with International ended.

  I still use kerosene and a brush for clean up since it's easily available to me. Then pressure wash if possible. Seems like on the really thick goo, brake clean doesn't work so well, at least for me. have also used simple green or similar on light coatings of oil/dirt. Again brushing it and agitating

  I agree and why it seemed to make logical sense to swap it out before it did have a failure mode. I have no idea what the typical mileage was reached on the Allison 6 speed and variants from the beginning of the Duramax engine series but they were not putting through as much power either other than maybe the 2017 to 2019 models relative to the 2020 model trucks with the 10 speed. I am guessing there were some changes/upgrades over the years with that transmission as the engine in front of it certainly changed in output. I see some reviews of the Ram with the new 8 speed and comments about how great this transmission will be relative to the Ford and GM, but only time will really reveal how it all plays out as use and abuse always eventually show how good something is or what weakness it may have.
