RAM SRT-10 Pickup V10-505 8.3L (2004)
Before the sensor is installed, the cam gear may have to be rotated. This is to allow the high machined area on the gear to be directly in front of the
sensor mounting hole opening on the timing gear cover.
Do not install sensor with gear positioned at low area. When the engine is started, the sensor will be broken.
2. Using a 1/2 in. wide metal ruler, measure the distance from the cam gear to the face of the sensor mounting hole opening on the timing gear cover.
3. If the dimension is approximately 1-15/32 inches or less, it is OK to install sensor.
4. If the dimension is approximately 1-5/8 inches or more, the cam gear will have to be rotated.
5. Attach a socket to the vibration damper mounting bolt and rotate engine until the 1-15/32 inch dimension is attained.
6. Install the sensor into the timing case/cover with a slight rocking action until the sensor is aligned to scribe line. The paper spacer can be used if
reinstalling a used sensor.
7. Install sensor mounting bolt and tighten to 10.7 N.m (95 in.lbs.) torque.
8. Connect engine wiring harness to sensor.
