To fix it, your going to need a 10mm wrench (or socket with a short 3" extension, experiment at
home to find the exact tool you think you will need if stranded on the side of the road,
at night, in the cold and rain). A flathead screwdriver, and a replacement CPS. Ideally, you should use a 6-point tool, as the CPS bolt is known for rounding off. Locate the CPS. It is on the passenger side of the engine block. Accessible from under
the truck, and located about the 10 o'clock position behind the crankshaft front pulley.
Reach up and unplug the wiring harness, remove the 10mm bolt, and GENTLY pry the bad CPS
out with the flat screwdriver. See picture for location detail.
A select few of you may find an ALTERNATOR while looking under your truck for your CPS.
This is part of the Ambulance Package, dual alternators. Your CPS may not be as easy to
see or get too, but its still in the same place.
