Location of # 2 cylinder on 6.1 hemi engine? - 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 Club Cab

Bank 1 is the side of the engine that #1 cylinder is located and sensor 1 is the one closest to the engine. Sensor 2 is by the catalytic converter.

• The engine serial number is stamped into a machined pad located on the left, front corner of the cylinder block.

Hi there:
On 2003 Dodge RAM 2500 3/4-Ton 5.7 liter Hemi V-8 VIN "D" check this diagram...



Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.


Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

Hello! See diagram below of the location of Crankshaft Positioning Sensor (CPS)...It has a 3 wire connector with the following wire colors...Dark Blue/Dark Green (ground)...Dark Blue/White (signal lead)...And Pink/Yellow (+5 volts)...

Looking at the front of the engine...The left bank (front to rear) are 2, 4, 6, 8...
The right bank (front to rear) are 1, 3, 5, 7...Therefore the first cylinder on the right bank is # 1...The rear or last cylinder on the right bank is #7

Hope helps.

1-2-3-4-5-6 Does your setup look like this?

Here is the firing order diagram for that engine.

For ALL 2004 Dodge RAM (1500, 2500, and 3500) (2WD and 4WD) 5.7L V8 Hemi:

.........Firing Order:
Coil...1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2
Plug..6-5-7-2-1-8-4-3

This should have been located at the top of the your Intake Manifold.

Let me know if this helped...

I don't have a link with pictures, but I will describe the cylinder and coil numbers for both the overhead valve (OHV) and the overhead cam (OHC) as best I can.
Facing the engine from the front bumper.
On the 3.0 overhead valve (OHV) the cylinder location looks like this:
1 2 3
4 5 6

The coil location looks like this:
5 1
6 2
4 3

If you have the 3.0 overhead camshaft (OHC) engine again facing the engine from the front bumper your cylinder location looks like this:

1 2 3
4 5 6

Your coil location looks like this:

4 6 5
3 2 1

I hope this was helpful.

The firing order is a sequence of ignition time when the engine cylinders deliver their power-strokes starting with the number-one cylinder. If this sequence is faulty or arranged disorderly, the engine may not start at all, and if it does start, it may does so hesitatingly, or not run enough well to enable it to drive-or simply lacks the power to move. A waste of gas, and unecessary tear and wear on the engine and its critical components ultimately result. Once the firing oder is correc and in proper sequence, the engine should starts easily and promtly, running as quietly as posiible.

For Dodge 2004 Durango firing-order:
All 6-cylinder K 3.7L MFI SOHC distributorless ignition:
1-6-5-4-3-2 (front 2-4-6) (back 1-3-5)

All 8-cylinder N 4.7L SFI (including HEMI 4-WD)
1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 (front 2.4.6.8) (back 1.3.5.7)
(distributorless ignition)
It is also a good thing to try and compare the thread lenghts of the old spark-plugs being replaced with the new.
