Went to the local dealer today to get a cam shaft sensor and they want 85 dollars for one. I will be changing out my vp44 this weekend and wanted to do some preventative mantaince. Did anyone else pay this much for a cam sensor, if not were is the best place to pick one up.

 

Try the Cummins dealer if you have one local, seems like it was $65 for mine IIRC.

 

I did try my local deal he said 85 big ones, but he had his fingure so far up his butt he couldn't even tell me the time.

 

when i changed mine last month it was 103Can$,we get ripped off dam!!!

anyway this sensor is hard to get by,the bolt is an Allen one and the sensor dont screw in even if the sensor seem to be made for that..
hope this helps

 

Mine was $58 at local Dodge dealer. And yes, it is a PAIN to do. Especially if you have big hands, arms, belly....
I had my son get under the truck and put the tool on the retainer while I worked the ratchet from the top. Worked out pretty good for us.

 

Dang sounds like all ya'll got ripped off. I got mine yesterday at o'reiley for 40.99 plus tax

 

As a personal choice, I don't put any parts on my truck that are not Cummins or Mopar.

 

I'm the same on major stuff, but I don't think its gonna make that much of a difference on a cam sensor. Specially for 40 to 60 dollars cheaper
