I just did this one my own last week, couldn’t find any videos on it but I did it under my own accord just to see if knock sensors were truly faulty or if my engine truly had a knock, guess what no codes so far. Than today get up and this video is on my recommendations.
May 14 2024 hello , is the knock sensors still in the relocated place. Has the knock sensors code come back on ? What type name brand did you use ? Did you have to reprogram the ECM ( aka PCM )
@@2lotonyI just saw your reply here. Sorry - youtube comments are not formatted improper order. I guess you can re-paste this reply or ignore my other question.
Just had these codes throw on my truck. Going to try this. Did you have any kind of noticeable symptoms of your knock sensors going bad? Only noticed it from diagnosing a sudden engine light that at first was only EVAP system. Second time I’m getting a sudden knock code on both banks not just one.
My vehicle ran fine for a long time. First codes were mass vacuum leak, like bad gas cap etc. After replacing a few things kept getting codes, then the knock sensor popped up.
I have both of my sensors throwing a code. Could i just leave the old sensors where they are and just unhook the harness and install two new sensors like you did?
I wish I could remember. I basically took the new sensor to the hardware store and picked out what I needed. I am pretty sure the threads on the sensor are the same as in the cylinder head. Hope that helps.
@2lotony appreciate the reply.im gonna have to try it if its lasted 4 years strong .....I've installed 2 different sets and both pop up the check engine .. what i did notice is even tho the new ones are within ohm spec when u tap to see how they react the reading are not steady like the ac delcos which I'm guessing is the reason most after market ones don't work ..... where did u get that spacer your using on the one by the exhaust?...

Due to these being DC and impendence involved in how info is diagnosed by the ECM, I would make sure the wires are the same length to each sensor...

I changed my muffler on my 2004 Silverado 6.0 knock cencer fixed
Will drivers side need an adapter??? Why?
Thank you for the video. Wondering where you bought the extension on the drivers side knock sensor? Trying to find it
Local True Value.
@@2lotonylink? Part name or number? Also thank you for all your postings... You are saving many of us from months ( so far ) of misery.
Could you tell me the size of the coupler parts you used on the drivers size
I cannot it's been so long ago now. I just took sensors to hardware store and pieced it together.

GOOD IDEA... TELL ME THE ORIGINAL SENSOR STILL IN THE SAME PLACE OR REMOVED
Left sensors in place. No need to remove.
@@2lotony THANKS FOR THE ANSWER... CAN PUT ONLY ONE SENSOR...

I am having the exact same thoughts ng happen any updates for what worked for you?
Have you checked your mpg? Mine is terrible, 11 to 12 mpg, i think it might be related to the knock sensors???
Never noticed a change in MPG. Or drive ability. Before or after. Milage is where it always was. 16 to 20

That is exactly what I did.
@@2lotony Thanks👍
What size plug is that you have thread in the block and then the sensor to it on the driver's side?
I wish I could remember. I basically took the new sensor to the hardware store and picked out what I needed. I am pretty sure the threads on the sensor are the same as in the cylinder head.
Hope that helps.
10x1.5 threads
What guage wire dono need to spice the harness ?
Did your knock sensor codes stay cleared after relocating them? Thx for your videos. @2lotony aka Fisty's Garage
Yes. No Codes.
@@2lotonydid u change the valley plate to a smooth one
Still ruining fine ? Or u end up relocating
Still going strong

What guage wire do i need to splice the harness?
I did not have to splice any wires. Just had to un-tape harness to re route existing wires.
I did however use a new harness.
Thank you
did it work ????
Still working to this day.
