HELP!!
I have been trying to figure out what I am going to do about an issue I overlooked. I have a 2006 Viper and the bottom end got ruined when I rented it out and they had a bit too much fun on it. I bought a 2004 bottom end and have been in the process of getting the rest of the engine ready for install. HOWEVER, I did not realize that the 2004 motor uses a crank sensor that is completely different and is in a completely different area.
Long story short, the 04 crank sensor used the flywheel to judge the position of the crank and the 06 uses the actual crankshaft and is located mid-way near the bottom of the engine. They both have three wires. I was thinking about making a ghetto piggyback, but I figured that will probably not work as they read from two different components. I really don't feel like buying an engine harness for a plug.
Thank you guys ahead of time for the help. This community is a wealth of knowledge. I am sure someone has a better idea than I.
