To find it, you'll need to:
1. Identify your engine: Look for an engine code on a sticker under the hood (often near the radiator support) or in your owner's manual. Common engines for that year include the 4.3L V6, 4.8L V8, 5.3L V8, and 6.0L V8.
2. Consult a repair manual: Once you know the engine, get a repair manual specific to your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine. These manuals have diagrams showing the sensor location. You can often find these online (Chilton, Haynes) or at auto parts stores.
3. Search online with your engine code: Searching online using terms like "2000 Silverado 1500 4x4 [your engine code] camshaft position sensor location" will likely yield images or videos showing its location.
The sensor is typically located on the engine block, near the camshaft, but the exact position varies significantly depending on the engine design. Don't rely on a picture from another truck unless you are absolutely certain it has the *same* engine.
