4.7L V-8 SLT, Hard starting, engine 2 quarts low at normal 3,000 mile oil change. Dealership added dye to oil and found large oil leak at Cam Sensor. Replaced Cam Sensor, re-checked for oil leak, no leak noted. Next oil change after 3,000 miles, engine once again 2 quarts low. No error codes noted. Mechanic at Dodge dealership said he had never seen this type of oil leak and Cam Sensor failure before. He has worked at my dealership for 20+ years. Taking back to dealership for a second Cam Sensor replacement as no other engine leak was noted.

Truck ran fine in the am. went out to leave and hear all the sounds of the engine trying to start but not getting any turnover. Found the cam sensors were reading incorrectly so the computer didn't know where to inject fuel. had sensors replaced and truck ran great.

I took mine out and it had some fine metal shavings built up on it because its a magnet. I cleaned it off and reinstalled it..all is fine. I had to take off the passenger side front fender shroud to get to it.
