So as the title states I need to replace my knock sensors (88,000 on the 6.0). Started this last weekend when I was pretty loaded down in the back of the truck, but light comes on without a load as well. I found that the light is only turned on when I start from a stop and need to accelerate up a steep inclined highway on ramp (theres a couple I do frequently). Not WOT but having to push it to get up to freeway speed while climbing. Light is for P0332 rear bank sensor.
here are my questions.
Since they are underneath the intake manifold I know I will need a new gasket for that, but since I am there should I just replace both sensors (kinda thinking thats the best option)?
second, since I need to pull the injectors should I replace the injector O-rings or just check them and replace if needed?
third, also on the injectors. since I will have the injectors out is there a way to see if they are clean or can I clean them out of the truck. I have done the injector cleaner stuff through the fuel lines but figure since they will be out is there a way to see how well they are spraying, need cleaning etc.?
Any other tips, tricks or things I should check while I am there. Steering, suspension, brakes are all familiar and have done lots of work on but not so much tearing into the engine. I've done engine work just not a lot, so I know I will be fine, just figured I would see if there was something extra I should check while I have the manifold off.
Thanks
