Changing the CPS on the SRT6
The CPS is easily visible on the NA and I assumed it was the same on the SRT - wrong.
I looked for the CPS on my SRT and it was hidden from sight.
Can someone who has changed it on the SRT outline the best way to change it?
I did a PDF on how to change it but now I see that what I wrote applies only to the NA and I would like to add the SRT method to that PDF.

Hi Dave,
I took a couple of pics but before I dig 'em out, this video by Paul Diguer does show you on the SRT6 where it is.
Follow along and if necessary, I'll post up my pics.
Regards,

All the research and reading I done on this prior made it sound like a simple task but I found it a bit awkward when I changed my CPS on my 6.
From what I recall, I found the best way to get to it was to raise the hood vertically and contort my torso through the hood strut and the hood.
I also found it easier to remove the small metal heat shield that surrounds it and mounted by 2x bolts to the bell housing.

Re: Changing the CPS on the SRT6
My set up seems different somehow. There is a fibre glass sleeve that is a heat shield that seems to be the main problem on the CPS wires, this sleeve is large and covers the wires so well that it hides the plug. Looking down all you can see is this sleeve and the red bolt head of the bolt that holds the steel heat shield in place.
I’ll post pictures of it on the NA and the SRT.
CPS on the NA.

Re: Changing the CPS on the SRT6
That is a heat shield sleeve given how cps's dont like heat in general and fail because of it that sleeve delays the inevitable failure. I didnt know there was a different from the NA. The NA could benefit from the sleeve as well. I guess Chrysler gave it to the srt-6 to offset the extra heat and is generated down there since it is literally sitting below blower manifolds.
