Yesterday while hauling 3 vehilces down the West Virginia Turnpike my '05 3500 quad cab dually started missing, it was a real hard miss, I stopped and drain the fuel filter thinking I might've got something in fuel but it continued missing. The check engine light came on and I pulled the code it was Crankcase or Crankshaft (can't remember which) position sensor, does this sound to be a serious problem or just hopefully a electronic short.

 

just a sensor takes about an hour to replace if you need any more info on how to change it let me know.

 

If you need an hour to replace a crank sensor on an 05 you must be doing it with your eyes closed! Just ribbin ya! I see your name "johns99" which would indicate the pita crank sensor where you had to r/r the starter. The common rail engine has it right up near the crank balancer and is very easy to change.....but I'd be looking at the wiring pretty good too.

 

Ok, I was just wondering if it was major or not, I'll be taking it in the morning to the dealership I just didn't know how long I would be down since I use this truck for my business. Anyway thanks for the resonse, I'm glad I found this site I have a feeling it will be useful when trying to figure out the best computer for my truck will be.

 

Chances are they probably don't stock the part if that's what is actually needed. It hasn't been a common prob from my experiences.

well, got it fixed today, sure enough just a sensor, thanks for the replies

 

hey guess what, its in the shop again, same prob, its been in the shop since last fri, a full week now, my local dealer sucks, checked the wires couldnt find any bare spots, i hate to say this but using this truck to make a living, I dont know if I can continue to use dodge with this poor of service, I love the truck, its just the stinking service I get, this is my 4th dodge but its the first that when its in the shop im losing money,,,, Edit
i had an appointment tues at 9 am, it wasnt touched until wed, as of 11am fri they were just hooking on computer this is ridiculous anyway thanks for letting me vent

 

well after truck being in shop since friday b4 last, im getting back today, asked what was wrong with it, they replied "nothing", they said it had a massive misfire with injectors but it apparently fixed itself, kinda funny after it happened couldnt pull a hill over 50mph when i usually fly up it at 70-75, Anyone know a good dealership in Central WV area I need one bad, oh yeah this was the areas only 5 star dealer, what they do pick straws to get this status

 

I can't help in WVa. but just across the river from Weirton, WVa. in downtown Steubenville, Oh. you can find DiNovos Dodge. They are a multi generation, family owned dealer. I was there last winter visiting family, had a tire problem, under warranty. My selling dealer screwed up the warranty when they put it in Star's computer but the nice folks there stayed with me until I got the calls made to fix the warranty, again. I truely don't know about there diesel guys but they've been there along time and they seem to care.

 

thanks for the reply, Steubonville,Oh is about4 hrs away, appreciate it anyways

 

OK still got a bad miss,no codes showing right now, checked the wires going to crankshaft sensor, no bare spots or frays, not even rubbing anything, nobody has a clue on this, any help would be greatly appreciated, and I have changed fuel filter
