15mm maybe? I really dunno, but its pretty easy to get to; bring an assortment of metric sockets and have at it.

Stand up on a milk crate or whatever you have kicking around to get so you can look down behind the motor, reach down in, unplug the light blue standalone wire, grab your socket and using a wobble extension or universal, fish down in. You might need to kneel on the radiator support and go in from that angle, but I didn't think it was bad at all.....

I can't get my hand/arm down there...even with the removal of the dissy and upper intake. I would need a massive extension.

just curious...thanks for the info.

serious? maybe I'm just a pencil-necked scrawny kid.....Where there's a will there's a way. If you can add solid motor mounts with the motor and diff still in the truck, then getting to the knock sensor shoud be like changing the radiator cap in comparison....

Well, I would think your right...however I haven't attemped the motor mount deal. Its more than likely the problem is me. I was just going to disconnect it, buy a new one, relocate it, and tap into the ECM...but hell I don't know.

Once you get to it, then you have to worry about torquing it right becaues the POS is so sensitive.

To many trucks suffer from false knock for me to like the stock location.

I might try messing with that too....now that I think of it, I didn't torque mine; I snugged it which most likely is more than the 14ftlb its supposed to have. Project for tonight....
