Crankshaft position sensor replacement?

I've located it already and have successfully changed it however it is in a extremly hard to reach location, figure at least 3-4 hours of work
Thank you guys so much for your help
(free help ) it's nice to know some people are still out to help others and not trying to extort them for more money

I'll be making that donation to you guy's shortly

What does the crank sensor look like on my truck? Where is it located?

Did complete tune up, replaced plugs, plug wires, distributor, rotor an fuel pump. Ran great for three months and started doing the same thing. Hooked it up to a computer and the computer is saying crank shaft sensor. Replaced it with no better results. After completing all of the above, now the mechanic is telling me the crank sensor is showing damage from the crank hitting it and the engine is worn out. This has been a great truck for the last seventeen years. I have taken very care of it and wanted to make sure the mechanic is right.

Where is ckp sensor located on this truck? I can find info up to a 97 or 99 up, but I can't find anything on a 98.

Where is the crankshaft sensor locate

Cranks but no start, tried squirting fuel in throttle body no fire.
Pulled plug, grounded and cranked, no spark. Replaced ign. Coil, ign. Control module, cap & rotor, coolant temp sensor & fuel pump relay, no start. Read that crank position sensor triggers the coil and fuel pump for start & run.

Question is: Where is the crank position sensor located on this vehicle, looked all around front of engine crank damper & could not find, could this be located by the flywheel and is this my last resort?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for the information, I replace the sensor now the truck starts up great! Thanks 2CarPros! You guys are the best!

SEVAG PAESEGHIAN,
Hello again sir. I can finally bring you back you back up to speed again with my crank sensor issue on my 2003 GMC Sierra 2500hd 4x4.
Now that I have been able to get some good time on the truck to really be able to dig deep into the diagnosing stage without freezing the gonads I was able to determine that the signal wire from the CKP to the PCM was broken and brittle for about two feet in numerous places from the sensor to the PCM and was the whole issue of the situation.
Needless to say that during the situation of the diagnosing I replaced the CKP sensor the CMP sensor the map sensor and the pcv valve. While all of this was being replaced I had the PCM disconnected and out of the vehicle because of trying not to short anything out and looking at the board to make sure it wasn't fried.
After everything was said and done I repaired the wiring then hooked the computer back up hooked the battery back up and tested my wires. Good signal at 5 volts good power and ground at 12 volts. Tried to start motor and fired right up.
Problem that I'm having now is that it runs rough and is backfiring through the throttle body. It's giving me a p0170 map sensor code and a p0334 PCM code. Research says that CMP sensor is not meeting the voltage requirements and that is causing the issue. When I'm driving the truck it runs good but at idle it's rough and when I try to get on it it falls on it's face and backfires a couple times then will pick up speed. Runs at idle like she's got a big cam lobe going on.
Just wanting to see what your thoughts might be and what you might suggest. Really wanting to get her running right. Got some mud runs looking forward to getting into this year.
Thanks SEVAG really appreciate ya.

Hello Joe. My truck is powered by the 6.0l vortec gas distributorless motor. There is a lot of insight in this forum concerning the vehicle itself snd what has gotten me to where I am now. Starting from the very 1st issue up to present.
Thank you for your interest and advice that may come.

Hello again Joe.

That ground was one of the very 1st wires that I checked after replacing the CKP and cmp sensors with no change. There was a short piece of the wire that was bad close to the connection at the motor. Did a repair and started getting good ground voltage. Still had the no spark issue. Started testing wires from CKP to PCM and that's when I found the signal wire from CKP was brittle and broken in numerous places through the harness up to about the front lower part of the motor (under crank pulley). Repaired that and truck fired up. Motor ran fine for a few minutes then started backfiring and having a very rough idle. Kicked codes for the MAO and com. Did research and found that PCM code was kicked because of the MAP code.

Hello again Joe,

First I have to apologize for the typos that were made in my latest correspondence. The codes that were listed were not what was meant to be there.
However the codes that I do have are the p0106 and p0342. 106 being the map sensor code and 342 being the PCM code.
When I looked these codes up the 106 is telling me that there is a low or short circuit being read from the MAP sensor. The 342 code tells me that it is caused because of the CMP sensor is sending an or otherwise outside the manufacturer's settings.
As for the knock sensor code. I haven't had that code come up again since the time that I couldn't get the truck to start again. Now that I have been able to get it running that code has not came back.
I do not have access to a scanner with the ability to do live scan or anything like that. I used to have access to a scanner with that ability a couple of years when I worked in a shop for approximately 15 years. But I quit from there about 2 years ago and now I just stay at home for the most part when not out being able to enjoy the mud.
With those knock sensors. Checking the wires with a multimeter should I get a voltage reading a ground reading or a signal reading? And of what values would these readings be?
Again I apologize for the typos that were made.
