Crankshaft position sensor bolt specs
I am at Lowe's with 3/4 in long bolts. I'll pull the Allen one and compare length. If it's good I'll use them if not I'll return for the washers.
Idle testing ATM
Yeah been down a rabbit hole. If you unplug the passenger spark lines and "persuade" the trans dip stick back a bit you have exactly enough room to access the bolts at like a 37 degree angle. Mind you with an extension 1/4 drive Allen head a piece of cake. Me with my **** Allen keys from HF not as easy. The out procedure is easy enough the angle for the new sensor is a challenge cold.. do not attempt hot. But easy enough without fender removal or anything like that. Patience is your friend, and a nice extension if you swap to the hex bolts is a breeze. Traded the 1in for the 3/4 in onsite at Lowe's on approx 2 min.

I can but I don't have calipers or anything to properly measure it. I might try a junkyard for a spare one. It's insane that tiny oversight on the manuals. Event he dodge parts guy was scrambling through a few years models. I'm getting the same P0340 code because it's loose. It has a Hex 6 key my guess is it's a 7mm core bolt no idea on threat pitch it's not a machine screw. Frustrating I'll pull it and post a pic soon.
As for the Harbor Freight hex key they have a set that are straight ending in a socket. they are about 8 inches long I use a 12"+ extension on top of that.. I did mine recently and I was able to get the lower one by hand but had to put grease into the hole so that it would stick to the hex key to get the top one started back in as I had to hold it in place or it popped out away from the mounting hole. Glad you got it !
