Truck won't start, it cranks just fine but won't start. Replaced spark plugs and checked relays and can hear fuel pump start up when trying to start, but did have gas smell on sparkplugs. Not sure what else to try but crankshaft sensor.

The crankshaft position sensor is right above the starter. here is video of the job being done on a similar truck but the procedure is the same. I have included the instructions in the images below for your truck. Start by disconnecting your battery.

Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
