Where is the crankshaft position sensor located on a 1996 ford f150?

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) on a 1996 Ford F-150 is located on the passenger side (right side) of the engine block, near the crankshaft pulley. It's usually mounted in a fairly accessible location, but the exact position can vary slightly depending on the engine (4.9L, 5.0L, 5.8L). You'll likely find it near the bottom of the engine, close to where the transmission bell housing meets the engine block.

To be certain:

* Consult a repair manual: A Chilton's or Haynes manual specific to your 1996 F-150 and engine size will show you a diagram and the precise location.

* Use an online parts diagram: Many auto parts websites (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) allow you to select your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine, and then view diagrams showing the location of parts, including the CKP sensor.

Looking at the diagrams will give you the most accurate information for your specific truck.
