That's what I was thinking, with the truck being black and all.

 

you might want to add . . .

To bleed off the fuel pressure, start the truck, remove the fuel pump relay, let the truck idle and die.

 

For the knock sensor sub-harness. Its listed as the knock sensor wire. The part number is 15320925

 

some of the techs where i work put a bead of rtv in front of the rear knock sensor hole and remove the foam from the rear of the intake to let the water run off the back of the engine better.

here a pic of where they put the bead of rtv

 

I couldn't figure how to get the connection off the knock sensor, so you might want to add that you have to squeeze the connection with a pair of needle nose pliers in a certain place to remove the plugs without breaking them.

 

DV2000NJ,
Thanks for the post and all the pictures man just did mine today so the play by play worked. "No engine code", replaced both sensors, harness, gaskets and built my silicone dam.

 

I'll be doing this soon...the code just popped up for me

 

i was sweating this code until now. great write up!

 

Thanks to DV2000NJ for this write up! I know it's more than 2 years old but this is the 1st time I've had to dig into a motor by myself. I know I know most of you guys dig in way deeper than this but for a daily driver for me this is as far as I have gone into a motor.

I've done transmissions, front and rear axles brakes stem to stern on may cars/trucks but when it came to motors I farmed it out.

Thank you again, your pics and step by step helped out tremendously.
