How about some pictures of the chewed up sensor?
I think maximum file size is 750kb, I think.

Good questions Matt. I want to know that as well.
Oh, and it is a hall effect on these with a 5v pull-down design signal circuit (all Chryslers)

Years ago I remember seeing a shim on a dodge crank sensor to prevent this but I believe it was a 4.7l in a Grand Cherokee.

Kinda looks like there was some kind of physical damage, too. Imma look at TSBs and iATN.

If the other ones are just beat up and not melted, I'd say Chris is right on about having to shim that sensor.

As far a the physical damage goes on the previous sensors it's most likely an air gap issue between the sensor and flywheel. To check that set the sensor in with out the o ring and have some one rotate the engine by hand and see if the sensor pushes up out of the hole.
