Hey guys.....My check engine light came on and the mech at the dealer where i bought the truck checked with the dianostic and said its the Crankshaft P S.....Truck runs fine the light goes off then a day later comres back on....So instead of trying to drive the hour 45 to the dealership i got it today...

Where should i look to find this?

I havent gotten my repair manual yet.....

I assume disconnect the neg batt cables and switchout...

thanks...

the early ones are behind the starter or just above it in the sideof the block of course.

Oh so the starter has to be removed to access the sensor?

Just follow the dip stick tube down to the block, it is the sensor right next to it, as a matter of fact the dip stick mounting has a bend to miss it.

Haulin......So does the starter have to be droped for changing?

The starter does have to be removed I'll try to put a link to the instructions that I used...http://www.dodge-diesel.org/articles/cps/ckp.htm It wasn't hard at all, infact I did this between classes in a parking lot at school. Hope this helps.
