Truck Died
#11
Not that I noticed but I can’t rule it out because I didn’t necessarily look to see that it did.
I did not check. I had to get it pulled out with the tractor to get my other truck hooked up to the camper and continue the move. By then it was dark. I will check for spark later this evening

Seriously doubt that heat from the headers would cause a crank sensor to break in two, as the headers are a good distance from the crank sensor. I've run shorty headers (uncoated and coated) on my truck with no issues whatsoever.
Did you figure out where the oil leak was coming from? If hot oil was getting on the crank sensor regularly, that may have caused it an issue..

The headers do make things a bit warmer under the hood but I doubt they were the cause. Your engine fan draws air over the entire engine. I suspect the sensor just had a fault that finally failed. Tracing these can be fun as there is usually no code. The computer doesn't know it's supposed to be getting a signal.
Glad you got it going again.
