I am not 100% sure it is as simple as indicated below, but this is all I have ............

To Remove:

1. Remove or disconnect the following:
   • Battery ground cable
   • Crankshaft position sensor electrical connector
   • Bolt and the sensor

To Install:

1. Install or connect the following:
   • CKP sensor torque bolt to 10 ft. lbs. (13 Nm)
   • Crankshaft position sensor electrical connector
   • Battery ground cable

 

where exactly is this sensor located and what all hs to be removed to get at it?

 

Everything you need should be in my post (I edited it a few times).

 

Crank sensor is located on the bottom right (passenger side) of truck. It is under the A/C compressor up against the block. You need a 15mm socket to remove the bolt for the ground wire. Then its a 8mm swivel and extension to remove the bolt from sensor. Then remove connector and sensor and replace.

 

The third link I supplied shows a picture of the right side of the engine (passenger side). Also shown is a picture of the sensor.

jboczar - thanks for posting the bolt sizes!

 

Sweet. thanks all. I got er out and gonna put a new one in shortly and hopefully we have life once again.
