rooster4473 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 So I got the vp out, it wasnt that bad, and I didnt drop the key, so Im pretty happy right now, altho the thought of droppn all that cash for another one sux! Anyway when I was looking over stuff on the net and in the manual ect, it was suggested to change the sensor that is right behind the vp, and I cant remember where I saw that at or what it was called, its pretty much right behind the vp, can anyone tell me what its called?

dripley Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I don't know about a 99 but my 02 has a camshaft positioning sensor behind ther that i wish i had replaced while i was in there. just did not know about it until i had replaced the IP. your 99 might not have one. could have a crank sensor in a differant location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster4473 Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 yea there is a sensor there, its held on by 1 bolt i think n only got a couple of wires going to it, it must b the camshaft position sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am planning to replace mine, may I know where did you buy the part? Is online store like ebay can be trusted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster4473 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 I dont know if it makes a difference or not, but because it is electrical and hard to get too I bought my sensor at the dodge dealer. There is a parts place online called rockauto.com that i use alot now and they have name brand stuff, i didnt start buying from them till after i fixed my truck, but they probabbly have sensors.

Junkman Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I changed my cam sensor with the VP but decided to go with chainstore part because prior CRANK sensors (both original unknown brand and Cummins sensor) had failed close together. I figured that I may as well buy cheap if they are going to fail anyway. You can get to the cam sensor without pulling the VP. I forgot what fitting to remove the cam sensor - perhaps a torx??? Someone post back type & size when you find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
