do you think I could be a crank position sensor? Where is the sensor on these trucks
Have you determined what the issue was? My 2005 1500 5.7 has the exact same issue last winter and is starting to manifest again this year. I replaced spark plugs, EGR, tested fuel pump, and cleaned throttle valve. I have to mash on and off accel pedal to have any chance of it starting in the morning
