Sweet truck in red! Maybe I should keep mine, we could start a Single Cab Long Bed club, and cause a comeback for these simple work trucks. Those were the days! -
Mint Real Man Work Truck
It's a longer story. I wanted to buy some 10 to 20 acres, build a warehouse style home with the biggest part being a shop, all solar roof, lithium battery bank, water well, off grid, organic garden, you get the idea. For this I wanted an old style long bed single cab truck, in order to move... -

Need help with knock sensor issue
I bought this minivan as a beach beater for 3 grand and turned it into a camper, so that I can hang at the beach the entire day or even for a long weekend, and don't have to worry about any of my nice cars getting banged up by ignorant beach goers and their beach gear. Now I have to worry about...- crockett

Need help with knock sensor issue
Just for the record, this issue was on my Caravan with a Pentastar. I just wrote here since it was related to the same engine. I bought a new harness for the knock and temp sensors. Talked to a nice tech at a dealer today, he said that the harness gets messed up most times when oil and coolant...- crockett

Need help with knock sensor issue
I'll try that tomorrow, I should be able to get into the back of the plug with some flexible back probes. Good idea to compare that vs the read-out on the scanner!- crockett

Need help with knock sensor issue
I'm already using larger screws so I will have to use a larger rod, maybe something metric, thread AND glue it in, and drill out the upper intake a little to match the larger stud.- crockett

Need help with knock sensor issue
Sweet idea, I will do that! Did you just glue those studs into the plastic or did you put some countersunk nut on the other side.- crockett

Need help with knock sensor issue
In that case I'm inclined to buy 2 new sensors, Mopar this time, pull the intake and the oil cooler, test the wires, and if I can't find any issue with the wires, replace both sensors for good measure. Having to dig into this another 2 times would really **** me off. The lower intake already has...- crockett

Need help with knock sensor issue
I'm trying to remember where I bought the 2 sensors and I'm 90% sure they are Duralast Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensor SU3333 from AutoZone. The other option would be Carquest Premium Knock Sensor EKC1012 from Advance Auto Parts. The Duralast sensor has a rating of 4.9 out of 5. Do you think...- crockett

Need help with knock sensor issue
2 month ago I faced a check engine light and pulled the code P0330, generated when a (intermittent) malfunction is detected in the knock sensor 2 circuit that causes it to not operate properly. So I replaced both knock sensors on the Pentastar. 4 weeks later, the same code back. I just hooked...- crockett

Risk with Dorman Upgraded Aluminum Engine Oil Filter Housing
Well, I'm at 159k miles. I recently replaced the knock sensors underneath and had to remove the oil cooler for this. I used new o rings. It was doing fine until I had a coolant leak at the radiator. I replaced the radiator but still had a small leak somewhere. So I did a pressure test, so the...- crockett

Bunch of throttle / intake related codes after oil cooler replacement
Good starting point, that thing is easy to measure without schematics, unlike the big plug with 16 pins going to the throttle body. Thanks! -- Do we have mechanics on the forum with access to proper shop manuals?- crockett

Risk with Dorman Upgraded Aluminum Engine Oil Filter Housing
Needless to say, if the marring is too deep you will have an ongoing oil leak. In order to fix that you would need to hone and sleeve the intake in the engine block. Nothing you can do while the engine is in the car. Labor to pull the engine, dismantle, hone / sleeve, dress and install would be...- crockett
