    DWF kit Sensor cup

    The truck has the demilled DWF kit and I will get it back together. My 1990 M998 had its sensor cup on a frame rail I believe. I understand the newer models have it mounted more up front. Anyone have a pic of where they are located now? This M1097a2 was rebuilt in 2014 in case it matters.
