12575182-UPDATE - Camshaft Position Sensor Update Kit For 2001-2003 GM 8.1L

Description:

This is a packaged kit that contains all the necessary components to convert your GM 8.1L to the newer style camshaft position sensor (12591720) that is readily available. The stock engine computer will run this new setup without any issues, so no tuning or updates are required.

The 2001 camshaft gear / sprocket and camshaft timing position sensor were revised in 2002 and again in 2004 to maximize the benefits of Magnetic Relutance (MR) or "mirror image" ignition timing. To "read" the new changes, the camshaft position sensor also had to be updated to match the 2004+ camshaft gear. The older style camshaft position sensor (12575182) was discontinued by GM and is only available in limited quantities. 

Features:

  • New OEM Camshaft Sprocket/Gear, Chain & Crankshaft Sprocket/Gear
  • New OEM Engine Timing Cover
  • New OEM Sensor Adapter Pigtail
  • New OEM Camshaft Position Sensor

Applications:

  • 2001-2003 Workhorse Chassis Equipt with an 8.1L Engine
  • 2001-2003 Chevrolet/Sierra/Suburban Equipt with an 8.1L Engine

Is this conversion only for RV applications? Or would the same conversion work on a 2001 Suburban K2500 8.1L? Thank you! ( William, 05/02/2024 )
This would work on your truck, it's the same for all 01-03 8.1Ls.
why does my cps read zero after replacement. why is it that they say there is limited availability for stock sensor. I have no problem finding the sensor but it doesn't work ( Matthew Ortiz, 08/21/2019 )

Matthew, 

    If the original one had the same issue maybe it is not the sensor that is the issue? Maybe a connector or wiring? This part says limited availability because the part is discontinued. Not sure where you find them but they may be a knock off, that also may be the reason the replacement you have does not work? Hope this helps.
