I have to replace my knock sensors. Wanted to know if there is anything else I can add to give my truck more power while I have the intake off. I already have throttle body spacer, intake, exhaust, and programmed.

 

mother fuggin knock sensors, i replaced mine about 3 times. just make sure when you do it you dont break them by over tightening them.

if thats all you have done i would say no there really nothing worth doing with the intake off except maybe gettin your throttle body P&P'd. id lose the programmer though and either try to find a local tuner in your area or get a mail order tune from one of the sponsors --------->

 

get rid of the TB spacer too.

 

Seal your Knock Sensors up with some black RTV while you are in there. Moisture is the enemy.

 

Yessir, there's a TSB in reference to this. Build a dam of RTV around each knock sensor to keep H2O out...

 

I clicked on the thread to give my advise...but now I will just agree with BlownChevy and budhayes3

 

Keep the spacer..

 

and drill and tap it.

 

How do you know when your knock sensor is bad?

i know my knock sensors are bad due to the code the code reader brought up
