Where is the crankshaft sensor located on a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500?

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) on a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 is typically located on the passenger side (right side) of the engine block, near the crankshaft pulley. However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the engine (e.g., 3.9L, 5.2L, 5.9L).

To be certain, you should:

* Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This is the most reliable source for the precise location of the sensor for your specific engine.

* Use a parts diagram: Many online auto parts stores (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) allow you to select your vehicle's year, make, and model and view a parts diagram showing the sensor's location.

Without knowing the exact engine size, a more precise answer isn't possible. Always visually confirm the sensor's location before attempting any repairs.
