Heavy Duty Truck Crankshaft Position CKP Sensor Replacement for DAF 95 XF CF 85 CF 75 | OEM 0281002408 1365738 0281002301

Product Overview The 0281002408 / 1365738 / 0281002301 Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) is a high-accuracy electromagnetic inductive engine management component engineered as a premium aftermarket replacement for DAF commercial heavy-haul trucks and distribution fleets. Positioned adjacent to the engine flywheel ring gear or crank harmonic balancer, this sensor actively traces the precise rotational RPM velocity and Top Dead Center (TDC) position of the pistons. By delivering clean, millisecond-fast pulse telemetry to the Engine Control Unit (ECU), it guarantees synchronized common-rail fuel injection arrays, balanced cylinder timing, and reliable cold-start reliability. Technical Specifications Primary Manufacturer Interchange Reference Codes: 0281002408, 0 281 002 408, 0281002301, 0 281 002 301 DAF Factory OE Reference Codes: 1365738, 1339009 Other Industry Interchange Codes: 6000149287 Component Type: Inductive Magnetic Crankshaft Speed/Timing Position Sensor Sensor Nose Housing: Heat-shielded stainless steel / high-impact polymer architecture Condition: Brand New Premium Aftermarket Replacement Vehicle & Engine Series Compatibility This CKP timing switch is meticulously calibrated to original commercial diesel signal waves and terminal plug geometric arrays, providing drop-in fitment across DAF Euro 2 and Euro 3 heavy-duty haulage platforms: DAF Truck Model Family Engine Models & Fleet Application Matrix DAF 95 XF Series (95 XF 380, 95 XF 430, 95 XF 480, 95 XF 530) Fits classic long-haul international tractor units operating high-displacement XF diesel engines with integrated common-rail or unit pump timing grids. DAF CF 85 Series (CF 85.340, CF 85.380, CF 85.430) Widespread use in heavy construction tippers, multi-axle mixers, and regional distribution rigid setups carrying matching block sensors. DAF CF 75 Series (CF 75.250, CF 75.290, CF 75.320) Fits medium-to-heavy urban transport layouts and municipal utility platforms requiring precise 0281002408 RPM tracking. Performance Benefits Flawless Engine Syncing: Cures standard crankshaft errors such as sudden engine stalling at operating temperature, hard starting or long cranking cycles, and intermittent engine misfires. Thermal Isolation Shielding: Built with premium internal copper winding coils encased in a thermal-stabilized body to endure extreme engine block heat up to 150°C without signal degradation. Anti-Interference Technology: Features robust internal shielding layers that repel electromagnetic noise from heavy alternators and starter motors, keeping the RPM data stream perfectly linear. Maintenance Tip: In heavy transport logistics networks, a faulty 0281002408 crank sensor frequently causes a sudden engine shut-down while hauling on the highway, with the truck refusing to restart until the engine block cools down. This is caused by microscopic cracks expanding in the inner sensor coil under high temperatures. When swapping out the old unit, thoroughly scrape away rust flakes or engine sludge around the mounting port on the flywheel housing. Ensure the sensor face sits at the exact factory distance from the gear teeth, and verify that the harness seal clip snaps into place tightly to keep out abrasive clutch dust and oil grease.
