Question I have a 2001 yukon xl 1500 4x4 5.3 and have a code that says bank 2 knock sensor has low voltage ? O I need to change just the wiring harness or change everything ? Engine has 313289 miles on it also has anyone had any luck with off brands of knock sensors ? Or should I stick with AC Delcos ? Thanks Doug

it is recomended when doing knock sensors to replace both sensors and harness with oem.
beware of where you purchase the sensors because there are knockoff's all over the internet
best to purchase from a dealer or well known retailer/auto parts store.
when installing the new sensors apply silicone around the top cover to help prevent water saturation causing rust.
I personally also recomend using fel-pro metalized intake gaskets when doing the sensors.
it's a fairly easy straight forward job if done properly
this video covers it, the difference will be a drive by cable instead of drive by wire
the video is available on youtube just click the play button
