The camshaft position sensor (CMP) on a 2006 Ram 1500 4.7L is located at the rear of the engine. It's a small electrical sensor that extends through the engine block; connecting on the outside, and sensing the position on the inside. If You take a look at the following URL, You can see it at position number 3 -- https://www.autozone.com/znetrgs/repair_guide_content/en_us/images/0996b43f/80/7c/b5/e5/large/0996b43f807cb5e5.gif The good news is that the CMP sensor is relatively inexpensive -- some aftermarket brands go for as low as $20. The bad news is that it can be in a tough position to replace, so You may get Your hands a little bit d***y and it's a tight fit. Still, many amateur automotive enthusiasts report having success with a DIY, so it's worth a gander at YouTube tutorials if You feel confident.
