SERVICE INFORMATION
If you encounter vehicles that exhibit the above conditions, refer to SI for the appropriate DTC(s) set. If no trouble is found, the cause may be due to an ECM ground terminal that has corroded with rust over time. Inspect the main engine wiring harness ground terminal (G103) for this condition.
The wire terminal (G103) attaches either to the front or to the rear of the right side cylinder head, depending on the model year of the Full Size Pickup and/or Utility Trucks. If the ECM ground terminal has been found to be corroded, then follow the service procedure outlined in this bulletin to correct the corrosion issue.

Remove either the nut or bolt securing the main engine wiring harness ground terminal (G103) to the right cylinder head. Refer to the above illustration to determine where the ground is located on the vehicle (1).
Remove all rust from the ground terminal, the cylinder head and the retaining nut or bolt.
Position the main engine wiring harness ground terminal and install the nut or bolt.
Tighten:: Tighten the retaining nut or bolt to 16 N.m (12 lb ft).
Apply some type of electrical moisture sealant to protect the harness terminal from further corrosion.

CONDITION
Some owners may comment on a rough running condition or a Service Engine Soon (SES) light being illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician may find a DTC code P0300 or P0335.
CAUSE
The crankshaft sensor may be contacting the reluctor wheel.
CORRECTION
Remove the crankshaft sensor. Refer to the Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement procedure in the Engine Controls - 4.3L sub-section of the Service Manual. After removing the sensor, inspect the end of it for witness marks that would indicate contact with the crankshaft. If contact with the reluctor ring is indicated, then inspect the front cover for cracking or other signs of alignment concerns. If the inspection indicates that the cover is causing misalignment, replace the cover. If replacing the cover, then the 0.5 mm shim is not needed.
If the inspection of the front cover indicates that the cover is not the cause of mis-alignments, then the sensor should be shimmed. Add one shim between the sensor and the front cover. If the concern still exists, then add the second shim. Unless the sensor has been rubbed through the casing or deformed by contact with the crankshaft, it should not be replaced.
In either case, the crankshaft relearn procedure should be performed after any repairs.
