You saved me some money Today Thank you and I hope rewards will fall at your door 👍🤠Tex🇺🇸

Why in the world would you cut off the connector on the engine side? I sure hope you kept it. I did mine with just cutting the sensor side and used a screw type taplock. 5min was done

Yeah i anit into botched jobs 😅. Im glad youre happy but when you cut those wires i about had a heart attack 😅😅

Wired my bad sensor to my good one, works perfectly...

So when the 2nd sensor goes out you will need to pull the intake anyways Just do it right the first time and properly seal the connection seals on the KS's

This worked for me after changing out my knock sensors twice. Easier way to do it tho. Just snip behind the connector coming from the sensors, strip and twist them together, crimp one female terminal on them both. Second, strip each wire coming from sensors and crimp in male plugs. This way if you are not sure which one is working you can switch it in seconds. Clear codes and go. My truck got it fuel mileage and timing back. Drives so much better!

If your truck is running extremely rough, it is likely that your engine is actually knocking and the sensors are just telling you it's knocking ​@trevorstacey6603

Ok ive changed both of my sensors twice and the damn code keeps coming back. Po325 it says high input circuit malfunction. Im about to do this hack

Does that affect smog check

After month how is your truck running? The code come back? I changed the knock sensors and the dang code came back on me. Bank 1 for me. I just dont remember which color is the bank one and which is 2? What do you think? I am almost ready to do this hack cuz i hate lights on and shit not working. 😂

The intake gaskets take 30 min to do on those. Those gaskets Leak so much there are problem solver gaskets to fix the issue. The knock sensors rust in the cavity that cause the problem.

I don’t disagree with you about the time or the gaskets. Truth be told, most modern cars/trucks have there knock sensors on the outside. The idea of having 2 inside of a motor is insane. You can literally slam the tailgate or a door while testing the resistance of a knock sensor with a multimeter and it’ll change the reading. 250$ for a GM knock sensor kit is insane. One knock sensor reading shouldn’t be an issue.

ya its called red rtv silicone LOL never had an issue using trusty red toyotas makes a nice black kind sets instantly and is oil resistant just expensive

so.... in order for this to work, does one of the sensors still need to be good then? cause both of mine are kicking out codes, which i think is causing my P0300 code as well.

@xxMaxMoneyxx

Ай бұрын

Yep that’s right. One has to still be good.

My knock sensors go bad every two years. I will do this as a temporary fix to pass emissions. The 4.8 is a bad design. They should have put these externally.

Will this work if both sensors are bad?

I would assume no, you’ll have to go fully in depth to fix the problem you’re having.

And then You Get Knock Sensor Circuit Codes!

TSB Is to surround sensors with silicon like a dam because moisture in the hole they screw in

Do NOT do this.... Buy genuine AC Delco sensors and wiring harness...replace. If still shows code check wiring to ECM. It might be the connector at the top of the ecm (pin 51...dark blue wire and pin 11...light blue wire). Clean connectors and check wiring up to the connector you cut off. Should fix it... :0)

Why do hacks always try to get others to be hacks? News flash... the intake gaskets on these are problematic which would be replaced while doing this job CORRECTLY! you freaking parts changer hacks who change their own oil on the weekends call yourself mechanics passing on bad information when you have no idea what you're talking about. Who hacks up their wiring harness and honestly believe they fixed anything.
