Just giving everyone a follow up, ended up having the shop do the work. All in all everything did have to come apart. Drive shaft , power control unit. Catalytic converter, bunch of other things. It was hidden behind everything. For labor and sensor came out total of 630, though main issue was. A rodent of some sort. Ended up getting in there and chewed the wiring harness to the sensor. Which was as extra 60$ so came out to 680 with parts and labor. Which was still cheaper then dealer. Again thanks for everyone's help. Wish I could of knocked it out myself but definitely didnt have the time to do so.

It was a quote over the phone, it was a service rep, not the actual tech. All he said was about 1 or 2 hours of labor and diagnostic fee, he said he cost more due to it being awd. Though its 6 am here in Wisconsin and I just crawled underneath and still couldnt find it for the life of me. Got few exhaust burns . Shouldnt waited till it was cooled down. Though i take another peek before i get sleep. 3rd shift schedule. I watched dozens of videos , so i dont know if I'm just blind or its hidden behind something , again any help is appreciated

Yes it's the 3.6 I keep forgetting to add that part, my fault. I'll def keep it posted. As soon as I get to the car. "Still currently driving" probably shouldnt but only vehicle I have right now. Still starts and runs doesnt pick up to speed but does have crankshaft sensor as the cel. I'll do more hunting to see where its hidden . Maybe I just keep over looking it. Thanks again

Thanks again for the vids, I also seen those videos. Wasnt to helpful, when I was underneath I couldnt even find the same heat shield. I wont be getting back underneath till later this week, Ialso notice I got more in the way its awd rt . So underneath looks differently from the others I have seen. Though thank again! Everyone been helpful

Thanks for the reply, I suppose I havent looked at other 3.6 vehicles. I didn't know if it was due to it being AWD if there is more to it. Is it hidden behind anything etc. Again thank for the help. I'll take any advice given.

Long story short, new to forum . Bought dodge journey new in 2016. Has 48,000 currently. I got a recent CEL for crankshaft sensor. I been searching the forum looking for the location of the crankshaft sensor location. I been finding post on the other journey motors but none of the location on 2016 journey AWD . Any help would be appreciated! Dealerships want over 800 for the repair. Times are tough so I want to tackle this on my own. It's a 20$ part. Any help and details of location and what's all involved to get the job done or point me in right direction. Thanks again!
