Cummins 2003–2018 Dodge Ram 5.9L & 6.7L Cummins Cam / Crank Position Sensor (5594275NX)
Description
A failing cam/crank position sensor can cause hard starts, no-start conditions, stalling, poor throttle response, and intermittent engine performance issues.
The Cummins 5594275NX Cam / Crank Position Sensor is a genuine OEM replacement designed for 2003–2018 Dodge Ram 5.9L and 6.7L Cummins engines. This sensor provides the ECM with precise crankshaft and camshaft position information, allowing it to accurately control fuel injection timing and engine operation.
If the sensor begins sending inaccurate or intermittent signals, the ECM can no longer properly synchronize engine timing, often resulting in drivability problems or a complete no-start condition. Installing a genuine Cummins sensor restores factory performance and reliability.
Features
- Genuine Cummins OEM sensor
- Cummins Part Number: 5594275NX
- Replaces Cummins Part Numbers 5594275 and 2872277
- Fits 2003–2018 Dodge Ram 5.9L & 6.7L Cummins
- Direct plug-and-play replacement
- Factory-calibrated sensor
- Restores accurate engine timing signals
- Helps eliminate hard starts, stalling, and no-start conditions
- OEM quality and reliability
Why Replace the Cam / Crank Position Sensor?
The ECM relies on this sensor to determine the exact position of the crankshaft and camshaft during engine operation.
When the sensor begins to fail, common symptoms may include:
- Extended cranking
- No-start condition
- Random engine stalling
- Intermittent loss of power
- Poor throttle response
- Check Engine Light
- Diagnostic trouble codes related to engine position or synchronization
Replacing the sensor with a genuine Cummins unit helps restore reliable engine operation while eliminating one of the most common causes of intermittent starting and drivability issues.
Glacier Tech Tip
Many aftermarket position sensors work initially but often suffer from inconsistent signal quality or premature failure.
Because the ECM depends on extremely accurate position data, Glacier recommends using a Genuine Cummins sensor whenever possible. Spending a little more on an OEM sensor can often prevent hours of unnecessary troubleshooting later.
Before replacing the sensor, inspect the wiring harness and connector for corrosion, damaged pins, or chafed wiring, as these issues can produce symptoms similar to a failed sensor.
Why Choose Genuine Cummins Parts?
Electronic engine sensors must meet very tight calibration standards.
Genuine Cummins sensors are manufactured to OEM specifications for proper signal output, durability, and long-term reliability. They install directly without modification and are engineered to communicate correctly with the factory ECM under all operating conditions.

Common Failure Point
The cam/crank position sensor operates in a high-heat, high-vibration environment. Over time, internal electronics can fail or the sensor may begin producing intermittent signals.
Common symptoms include hard starting, random stalling, poor engine performance, or a complete no-start condition. Replacing the sensor with a genuine Cummins unit restores accurate engine position data and helps ensure proper communication with the ECM.
