Default 98 Ram 3500 Crank Position Sensor location?

My 98 Ram 3500 24 valve Cummins diesel wont start sometimes, but will other times. Code reading shows bad Crankshaft Position Sensor. Purchased a new sensor but can not find its location to replace. Please help.

On alot of engines it usually is on top of the crank vibration dampner.

I replaced mine, it was a 99. It was behind the starter. I had to remove the starter to get to it.
