Does anyone have a How To link to replace the camshaft positioning sensor on a 04-08 F150 5.4? My truck died on me today. This makes twice in the past 2 days. O'Reily did the code scan, came up with the CPS. Failed to note which side was failing. So at $22.99ea for a Borg Warner, with lifetime warranty, figured might as well replace them both. I have found so far, it sounds like I have to remove the AC compressor on the drivers side to replace one. But can't find much else on it.

Thank you in advance

 

The cam position sensors are located on the front cover just below the valve covers. You will not need to remove the a/c compressor to replace them. Should be able to access both with out removing anything.

 

CPS (#3 in diagram), (times 2), no valve cover removal or A/C compressor removal req'd:, unrestricted access to both (BTW yer A/C compressor ain't even close):

Well that was easy. Hard to believe the dealer wants to charge $152 per side. I had both done in 15min for less than $50....... Yeah the AC compressor thing, I must of read that for a different engine then.
