Were is the camshaft position sensor located on a 1997 dodge ram 1500 5.9 magnum v8?

On a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L Magnum V8, the camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) is typically located on the passenger side (right side) of the engine, near the front of the cylinder head. It's usually mounted on the cylinder head itself, close to the camshaft gear.

However, it's crucial to consult a repair manual specific to your year and engine for the exact location. Pictures in the manual will be very helpful. The sensor's position can vary slightly depending on specific engine variations. A Haynes or Chilton manual for your truck would be a great investment.
