location of Crankshaft position indicator and Camshaft position sensors
I have a 2006 Mega cab 5.7, can someone please give me the location of both the Crankshaft, and camshaft position sensors...I know one of them is located near the transmission/engine block. I am having a shutter/stalling issue when coming to a stop. Thanks for help I am hoping one of these helps with my problem

Ok, ive just done these as a matter of fact last week.
The crankshaft positioning sensor, is below the alternator on the left side of the engine as you look st it from thr front near to the timing chain cover. It is hidden a bit, but follow the large insulated cable going near that area and you will come across it.
There's a 10mm single fastening bolt to remove before the sensor twists and pulls out.
The crankshaft positioning sensor is on the passenger side of the engine block towards the back of the engine near to the torque converter housing. Same size bolt on that too.
These sensors have small locking tabs to push down and they then release. These sensors can be difficult to just pull out straight. So, twist and pull at the same time and all will be good.
Remember to disconnect your battery first before replacing these.
However, usuall when these sensors go, they grow s code.
My camshaft sensor thre a 0340 code.
Are you sure it's these sensors that's your problem?
Hope this helps?

Is your truck an auto transmission?
If so, check your auto fluid levels.
If your low, the auto transmission valve body will suck up air on braking.
These conditions are known to cause stalling issues.
It usually proceeds changing the flat filter in the auto box.
The O ring the filter fits in, is fitted incorrectly and allows air to be sucked into the valve body.
So either check your fluid level and if you've had your filters changed in the auto box, check that you have the correct filters as 2x4 and 4x4 are different and the O ring is good.

Yes, I suggested the sensor check. They tend to crap out. Camshaft sensors tend to just get clogged up with oil. However, this is what I forgot to say as well - they should throw a code. If there are no codes for that, Id look elsewhere. when I had this exact same problem (3 separate times), it was a sensor each time and once there was no codes thrown. RAMs are tough trucks and all modern vehicles are so computerized, that small problems tend to cause a big headache. It pissed me off stalling in the middle of a turn with about every single electronically controlled thing just shutting off. All caused by a $20 plastic piece of crap
