Help...Crankshaft Position Sensor

[DieselDad]

Can someone please tell me where the crankcase position sensor is and what is involved in changing it? Based on my research on tdr, mine is failing. I don't want to take it to the dealer and have him see the EDGE box etc. if I don't have to. Truck is a 2000 6 speed.



Thanks

I learned this from MikeR

The CPS is located behind the starter bolted to the block. You will need to remove the starter to get to it.

Hey dad,



My truck is the same as yours (2000 6spd) and had to change it.

The crank sensor is on the lower left-side of the engine, behind the starter, and is held in by one bolt-down clamp. You'll have to remove the starter to get at it. The sensor cost $40 bucks from Cummins.



If all you have is an Edge box, I'd say remove the box and take the truck to the dealer anyway... they're not going to know you had it. Even if they did some how find it and deny warranty, what good was the warranty anyway? It's neither good now nor later on.
