If the sensor in your vehicle is broken or malfunctioning, you may suffer poor performance, or get a check engine light. This video shows you how to install a new crankshaft position sensor on your 2002-2009 Dodge Ram 1500.

Do you have to disconnect the battery?

@loganwork7024 says:

For anyone wondering about the camshaft position sensor, its under the altenator

@cookinitmax says:

Great sounds good looks easy But what about the reset the sensor part that most have to do in order for truck to start correctly?

@superfly197777 says:

Fyi I have an 03 ram 1500 and mine is in a different location and a different sensor

@paulcampbell8696 says:

"… and now what we're gonna do is jump ahead so you don't see that we spent the requisite two hours trying to remove the part, broke it off in frustration, drilled out the remaining part, then sanded the inside to remove any damage caused by the drill bit…"

@marcus05011993 says:

mine was 10mm and luckily it came right out new one went in super easy I actually used disconnect pliers 90 degree ones and I was able to grab the sensor in a good spot and pull it out then used them plies to disconnect the sensor plug haven't tried it yet my engine was sputtering and it got to a point where It took me 8 times to start it before it would start it was throwing code po339 so i replaced thst so far hopefully that fixes it

@user-ys8de7zu7f says:

This video could be a lot better. you just dive right into it without giving any remote where the location of the sensor is on the vehicle. Luckily I already I already knew but some people may not. I was just looking for the correct socket size to use. Thanks.

@jmemixx says:

Why does the crankcase and crankshaft sensor look the same? Is it suppose to be like that?

@austin_94gt18 says:

How did you guys get the broken part of the sensor out?

@rugerp9736 says:

It would be nice to know where the sensor is

@Anton-om5qf says:

I went through a ford and think the sensor make have got wet. It was about 2' deep. Would this cause my breakdown with misfiring, rough running?

@JoseHernandez-wu3xb says:

Does 5.9 has a camshaft sensor too

@shovelheadman1 says:

It was a decent video except you could have been just a little bit more specific about the location I am thi going you are some were between the front of the bottom of one side of the motor and the back bottom side of one side of the motor. Guess I will go hunting. But thorough video after that little bit of

@1steelersfan185 says:

When I went to pick one up. It was plastic. The one you have looks like metal. Is there a difference? Many thanks

@hazardousgarage9546 says:

Mine was a ROYAL pain I had to junk the whole truck and get a new one to get the job done

@serjiobriz1975 says:

It looks that you broke the sensor. How did you remove the rest?

@lcmmassa8571 says:

Hmm. Front engin mount, rear of passenger tire access. Cam shaft and or crank shaft. Which is which. 3 videos and mixed info for this chick repair
