Hello,

The camshaft sensor is located inside the distributor. Here is a diagram to show you how to change it and where it is.

The camshaft position sensor is located inside the distributor.
It used to be called a hall effects switch and controlled spark timing.
Now the crankshaft position sensor controls the spark timing and the hall effects switch controls injector timing.

I would recommend that you buy a complete distributor, you can get them via ebay for under $100.00 and they will come with a new camshaft sensor, distributor cap and rotor.

You will have to have it scanned and have the "cam retard" (distributor timing) adjusted to ensure it is still at "0" after installing the unit

The truck will start and run fine but it is very important to have the cam retard within 2 degrees either way.

I changed the distributor out now the truck runs great thanks for the advice. Great site.
