Once you know the engine, you can find a more precise location. Generally, the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) on a Dodge Ram 1500 of that era is located on the engine block, near the crankshaft pulley. However, the exact position can vary slightly.
To find it, you might need to:
* Consult a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton manual specific to your year and engine will have diagrams and detailed instructions.
* Use an online parts diagram: Many auto parts websites (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) allow you to look up parts diagrams for your specific vehicle. Search by your VIN or engine type.
* Search online forums: Search forums dedicated to Dodge Ram trucks, specifying your year and engine. Other owners might have already documented the sensor location with photos.
Without knowing the engine type, providing a precise location is impossible.
