Location of camshaft position sensor on 2001 Chevrolet silverado v6?

The camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) on a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado V6 is located on the passenger side (right side) of the engine, near the front of the cylinder head. It's usually mounted in the valley between the cylinder heads, pointing towards the back of the engine. It's a relatively small sensor with a single connector.

However, precise location can vary slightly depending on the exact engine configuration (e.g., 4.3L Vortec V6). A repair manual specific to your vehicle's VIN or engine code will provide the most accurate information. You can find these manuals online or at auto parts stores. A quick online search for "2001 Chevy Silverado 4.3L engine diagram" (or your specific engine size) may also yield images that show the sensor's location.
