Where is crankshaft sensor on 2003 dodge 4.7 liter engine in a ram 1500 quad cab?

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP) on a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 4.7L engine is located on the passenger side (right side) of the engine block, near the front of the engine, and fairly low down. It's often close to the oil pan. You'll likely need to get under the truck to see it clearly.

Because its precise location can vary slightly, it's best to use a repair manual specific to your year and engine for a diagram and exact placement. A Chilton's or Haynes manual, or even a digital version from an online parts retailer, would be invaluable. These manuals will have detailed pictures and instructions.

Trying to locate it without a visual aid can be difficult due to the engine's complexity.
