Truck was running smoothly when it threw the camshaft position sensor code. Replaced the sensor and light is still on. What else could this be and how would I know? Truck still feels like it's running fine.

Can I ask what the code number was? Here is the location of the camshaft sensor so we can be on the same page. I have seen the drive gear pin shear and cause the camshaft sensor to become out of sync that is why I need the code number. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response of any problems so we can see what to help you with.
