The old sensor snapped and I had a heck of a time getting it out. Well never did I have a check engine light light or code for this sensor, until new one was installed. Now I get Vrnk shaft, multi misfire, camshaft codes and occasional stall and rwv limit of 2,500 rpm's. Once I stop and wait say many 2 hours and restart it it runs fine for a while then same thing. It drops to 0 rpm loses power and then RPM's rise again and engine turns back to normal but with a 2,500 rpm's limit. SPONSORED LINKS Do you have the same problem?

Note: You may find yourself in a situation where the crankshaft sensor is seized in the block and removal seems impossible. Here are the steps I took to get my seized sensor out

Join Date: Nov 2012 Posts: 3 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts Okay, I have a question. And I'm not super-car savvy, so bear with me. My mechanic friend said there are two different kinds of transmission for the Durangos in this year. I can't remember what it's called, but one was the 'New and improved' at the time and everything on it is apparently much more complicated to get to. I have whatever that 'new and improved' transmission is on my 4WD 2001 Dodge Durango 4.7 Liter. And I totally up a creek with this one? Or is the crankshaft position sensor in the same place regardless? Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Union NJ Posts: 19,783
there is only ONE transmission that was offered with the 4.7l engine, and all the sensors are located in the same position on all 4.7s offered in the 1st generation trucks. the only other transmission was offered on the other (bigger) engine Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Blaine, MN Posts: 179 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts I'm not here to argue at all, but I have the 4.7 and from the research I thought that in 2002 they introduced the 545RFE, some getting it, some not? I know they are basically the same transmission with different TCM setups, but, they are technically different because of that. 45RFE and 545RFE I think were the two names. Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Union NJ Posts: 19,783 yes there was a programming change late in the 2002 MY, however alot of dodge techs dont know about it so it was slipped in at the very end of the run (i suspect) however the hardware(gears, sensors ect) is exactly the same, and since he is not having troubles caused by the trans control module the transmissions are EXACTLY the same, the only difference is the programming.

Understood, moot point since this isn't the issue. Join Date: Nov 2012 Posts: 3 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts No joy. It is terribly, horribly stuck in there. We were finally able to get it to rotate around, with the help of WD40 and pliers... and after two hours of wrestling last night we managed to get it out about 1/4''. But now the plastic is degrading more and more, and we are having difficulty getting a grip or any kind of leverage to pull it out. We can't afford a mechanic, and I'm losing money by missing work because of this dang part. Does anyone have and tricks that would help?

Does anyone have and tricks that would help? i read on a forum a few days ago this guy said he took an 1/8 inch drill bit and drill it at an angle believe he said he was able to use the bit to pry it out.
