Camshaft Position Sensor?

[Big Blue Stroker]

I got a letter from Ford on replacing/ inspecting the CPS for a recall. What does it do? How do you know it is bad? Any other thoughts?

It is a sensor that mounts under your water pump. It does what it says, it monitors the cam shaft position. If your truck is running, it's probably just fine, but it is a recall due to soo many failing.

Once it fails, you can be stranded on the side of the road.

I read my DTCs after i busted a tranny line last night and it gave me the code PO336 for the crankshaft position. should i take it to the dealership? mine is an '05 tho. same really or is my truck just messed up?

Well its like a hit and miss with this subject some it will make thier truck not run and some will run just fine. I'd go have the dealer go ahead and fix it since it is free.
