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
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!
@@gregallen8151 yes I have seen others do just that. As long as one good one is sending the signal it should work fine. Just go to oriellys or a parts store and clear codes after.
What does this mean? My truck has been running extremely rough and it’s because one of the knock sensors are bad and I don’t know which one it is. Can you help me understand your comment more clearly man?
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
@@IxcharleyxIit’s not really running wicked rough, my exhaust pops when I reach around 45 miles an hour. I do know that the knock sensors are bad but that’s the least of my worries at the moment. Now I am thinking it’s my injectors. It’s getting to much fuel
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
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. 😂
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.
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.
@@xxMaxMoneyxx oh gm engineers are complete morons. Who would have thought water would collect in a hole. Worse yet the engines collecting oil in the cylinders 1 and 7 for a decade of production. They knew and didn't care about the customers.
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
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.
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)
Most harnesses trace from the fuse block back to chassis ground. Wiring diagrams are necessary I had to check the AC clutch wire, no short was detected that way.
@@victorbeltran9344 not on the 6.2…because it came out later in the gen4 series where all the knock sensors are moved to either side of the block next to motor mounts.
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.
Right I just watched this and it’s fuckin cringe, I get it if you just need to get an emissions test done and complete the job later or done it already and one sensor comes back bad but geez loueez hack the trucks harness and delete the pigtail all together, he says all the videos for this on here suck but this has got to be the worst one
