Fuck knock sensors

Started the morning with a good attitude. Finally going to resolve the gay "Service Engine Soon" light on an early 2000's Chevy 1500. Rear knock sensor. May as well change both. havetopulltheintakemanifold.png No big. If Haynes be with me who can stand against me. Get everything apart with reasonable ease. Reverse tightening pattern on these nuts. Front knock sensor comes right out. Rear knock sensor immediately spins off its stud with the tiniest amount of torque on the wrench. Housing comes out with vicegrips. The stud is stuck there in its well tough as shit. Fuck me. Fucking jews. Didn't bring my extractors. The struggle will continue tomorrow.

Shoulda used some pb blaster or that brake fluid mix.

It's soaking in it now. I'm the king of using too much torque but I didn't even have the ratchet on the extension/socket when it spun off the stud. Front one almost fell out. Rear one was fucked.

Well at least they both didn't snap.

I got sick of working on used shit all the time and got a new truck so I wouldn't have to worry. And now I'm modding it anyways. Ecoboost engines are fast as shit if you're willing to void the warranty with a tune haha.

Do they still have the cracking issue? I remember the 2.3 turbo would crack the block when it first came out.
