Excellent video, as usual. The only thing extra that I do when replacing the camshaft position sensor seal is to wipe a bit of motor oil on the outside of the seal and inside of the hole. After that, pushing the new seal in with the socket is much easier with less pressure. Thanks for doing what you do David.

I love this video, thank you so much. I searched high and low for this video!!! I need my camshaft sensor bank 1 replaced ASAP. I have a Chrysler 200 C. 2016. My bf and I have been looking to possibly do it on our own to save $$$…a mechanic we know thru mutual friends quoted us $120. Not bad but my bf and I want to try ourselves. We have the part, just need to grab that seal. Any advice on how to get that top intake part off so we can get to the actual location of the sensor? That will probably be the hardest to figure out.

@edcontento5074 3 месяца назад

Great videos and info. Question. I'm dealing with a P0394. Happens only at speeds above 65mph. Cam sensor was replaced. I'm thinking the phasers on bank 2 is the issue. Note I can't calibrate the cam sensors either. Runs great till the higher speed. Then it lacks like a misfire. You would swear it was a coil or a plug. Jeep has 192000 miles on it. I'm gonna do that phaser lock test next. Have you seen this? Ed

Friend, excellent video, a question, My 2009 Dodge Journey, 3.5 awd, I put the gears on the selector and it doesn't move even with the wheels raised, if it marks the changes on the dashboard, it doesn't make strange noises, I was checking better and yes I have some codes, I have active p0585, and stored p0716, p0791, p0721, the oil has a good level and is not burned, what could it be?

I’m hear that the dealer will reflash the ecm with a new program and so far what I have been hearing is the it’s basically calibration of the def to burn more of it. I enjoy the videos you post and been following you since I got my 2017 2500 Ram. Would like to hear your opinion on this recall.

@evansilverberg8295 23 часа назад

so im working on my 3.2l Trailhawk. my cam sensors are both leaking inside the sensor to the connector getting my wires oiled up. im guessing the sensor is compromised now? there really is no leak to the valve cover from the cam sensor seal itself. do these sensors fail internally im wondering why its leaking inside of it?

Of course it requires a special tool. It's a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram :) My current dilemma is my 2014 Ram 1500 front differential. Turns out that the splines on the right side of the diff are corroded to the point they are destroying CV axles. The intermediate shaft can only be serviced with a diff rebuild so the shop offered me a $3000 repair. I declined until I have to come up with an new plan.

You don’t have too…..is say that because if have never had an issue when I didn’t but it wouldn’t hurt

@Kiddro22 4 месяца назад

What? It's not a plug and play type of sensor replacement?

@MotorCityMechanic 4 месяца назад

@@Kiddro22 its job is to learn where what the cam shaft position is…..so the position of the sensor and how it’s made could affect how accurate it is if “just install” without using the scanner to perform the relearn procedure. Does it have to be done or it won’t work…..no. Would it be more accurate if you did the relearn…..yes. Depends on what equipment you have as far as scanners

@Kiddro22 4 месяца назад

@@MotorCityMechanic I understand. I don’t have no scanner of any sort. I have everything open due to replacing the oil filter cooler @ 160k. But don’t want to have to open things back up 10k miles down the road to a thrown code for the sensor(s)

@brianw.520 7 месяцев назад

@@MotorCityMechanic that's a good point! I ended up purchasing a Mopar long block last year and had to swap all accessories over so I decided to replace all seals on the valve cover with new OE.

Wondering should I replace both as preventative maintenance? There's no leak nor a OBD fault code to replace the sensor(s).
