Is there anyway you could explain the cam sensor replacement in more detail?  Or perhaps a website w/ a diagram of it?

I need to replace both of these parts, but do not want to pay the 350 for labor that the dealer is charging.  My dad works at Chrysler as an electrician and is very handy w/ repairs.  Is there any way you could tell me how to find these 2 sensors and how to replace them?  Or maybe a website w/ diagrams?

Sounds like you are in the detroit area.I could be cutting off my own nose helping you.The crank sensor is on the lower rt side of the engine block close to the transmission.The cam sensor is right on top and goes into the lt cam cover.You will need to unbolt the intake manifold plenum and lift it up to have enough room to get the sensor out.If you have a plastic plenum the gaskets are reuseable and there is no need to replace them.

Answer
I don't know of a web site.I don't know how much more detail you require.If you can't find it on the car,look at the new sensor.Stand in front of the car,there are 2 humps on the front of the engine.The one on the left side has the cam sensor sticking out at about 10 oclock.1 10mm bolt holds it in.There are 2 bolts on the front of the intake holding it to the engine,there are 2 bolts one on each side holding the intake to the engine.There are 7 or 8 bolts down the center of the intake. remove all of these bolts.Lift the intake up from the front about 2 or 3 inches up.Pull the sensor out.The new sensor should have a round cardboard dot stuck to the end of it.If it doesn't don't use it.The dot is for clearance to the cam shaft.Push the sensor in the hole until it bottoms out,tighten the bolt.bolt the intake back down.
