How would I test a knock sensor? I frequently drive up a hill next to a wall at around 30 kmh, I can hear the engine 'pinging' very noticeably, I installed a canned 87 octane tune & it is better but not gone, running mid grade gas is a bit better again. I checked for knock retarding via a Bluetooth OBD device with two different apps & it shows zero instances. Does a knock sensor only activate under really bad pre detonation?

Sway bars are a trade off, trading independent suspension travel for less roll/lean in a corner. We used to remove anti roll bars (sway bars) from our rally cars for forestry rallies to keep the wheels on the ground over rough roads. Put them back in for circuit / tarmac events where body roll was more important. Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk
Thanks for the info. I did soak it with penetrating fluid but didn't have the time to leave soaking for a few hours so would rather have the spare & yes the c clip was a bugger to get seated properly. Now I know what the parts site calls it 'bypass valve' so that should help with sourcing, thanks very much. Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk
Was hoping to avoid that as it's a 45 minute drive to dealership so if I can't do any other way I guess it will have to wait for another couple of weeks. Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk
I tried doing the thermostat flip but couldn't get it out, the c clip came out ok but there was some corrosion stopping the guts coming out. Want to buy a new complete replacement with the block to swap out but can't seem to find the part listed. Anyone have a parts diagram? Can only find lists on the parts sites.

Agreed. My 2014 had squeaky springs at a few months old, I had power washed & sprayed lube in the springs & it would go away briefly. Took it in to dealer, they did the clean & lube, lasted a few days. Took it back & they installed new springs under warranty, that cured it for a couple of years. Now out of warranty.

There's a lot I can't help with but being in Canada I can say your right on the reduced voltage, my silverado showed 9 volts & it uses the low beam light so it didn't matter to me that would be on so I just looked for bulbs that were rated to run at 8 volts or more. They are probably full strength or close to it even at the lower voltage. Definitely need to check yours doesn't use the high beam for DRLs, that is common on lots of vehicles.
