Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Does the CPS have to be removed to remove my 47RE?

[Allnew2Me]

I'm getting ready to remove my transmission and rebuild it and have been going through the shop manual procedure. It says to remove the Crankshaft Position Sensor but doesn't specify why. Does anyone know the reasoning behind this? I will take it out if needed but I would like to save the trouble if I can. Thanks

no it does not on the diesel,on some gassers it is a must.

I'm pretty sure the 2001. 5 doesn't have a crank position sensor. Uses the cam position sensor for timing.

the ckp sensor on a diesel is in the side of the block. the gassers is between the bell housing and block. coming out isnt a big deal. going in is a hassle. no need to worry on a diesel.

Finally had time to check this out. Here is a link to the CKP http://dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/ECM/index.html



If you are doing this for the truck in your sig, it was deleted for model years 2001-2002.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, I thought it was rather odd that it had to be removed. Yes it is the truck in my signature that is getting the new trans. One less thing to worry about.

The factory manual also tells you to remove the starter which is toally unecessary but I would remove the battery cables for safety's sake.
