The camshaft position sensor for the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado with a 5.3L engine is found on the left side of the engine block under a cover. Removing the sensor requires taking apart a significant portion of the engine cover and associated hardware. If you plan to replace the sensor yourself, it typically costs between $35 and $55, depending on the brand. Hiring a mechanic for the job will run you about $200 to $275, covering both parts and labor. A professional typically takes around 3 to 4 hours to complete the task, meaning most DIYers can expect to spend an entire afternoon, or possibly longer, on the swap.
