Dodge Repair: where is my crankshaft sensor, crankshaft sensor, mounting bolt


Question
i have a 05 ram 1500 4x4 with a 5.7l hemiand i was wandering where the crankshaft sensor was located and could it be the reason my truck dies on me when i accelerate too fast?

Answer
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is located at the right-rear side of the engine cylinder block (CKP REMOVAL / INSTALLATION - 4.7L). It is positioned and bolted into a machined hole in the engine block.

Raise vehicle.
Disconnect CKP electrical connector at sensor.
Remove CKP mounting bolt (2) (CKP REMOVAL / INSTALLATION - 4.7L).
Carefully twist sensor (1) from cylinder block.
Remove sensor from vehicle.
Check condition of sensor O-ring.
