Thanks everyone for all the info!

Have a pigtail on the way, but I’m gonna change the cam sensor this evening either way. And then either pick up a used FICM (that hasn’t been dropped ) and send mine to Ed or use FICMRepair’s exchange program

The connectors are first crimped and then heated with a hot air dryer.

Sounds like a good plan - especially the FICM that hasn't been dropped!

Well, new cam sensor is in! It looked like one of the o-rings was definitely letting oil by. Cleaned the connector up as best I could, put the new sensor in, crossed my fingers, and the truck started right up. Hopefully it continues to do so! 🤞
