I have just over 700 miles on my truck and now it's throwing a cell. P0332 Knock Sensor Low Voltage Input Bank 2. What the frig. I have seen that these knock sensor can be a p.i.t.a. from research. The only thing is that i'm having trouble locating the source of the problem. I have just 700 miles on the truck and have been pretty soft on it. I guess breaking it in smooth. Any thoughts on this, anything that I can check, reason why it may have gone off. I quess the sensors are located under the manifold so count that out.

Brought the truck to the dealer this morning. Got a call about 3 hours later. Stating it was the Crankshaft Position Sensor, that was triggering the knock sensor. They are replacing that crank sensor. The kicker is the part will not be in till monday. Monday...... wow, does GM have to build the part by hand. WTF. I've had the truck for a toal of 16 days, 6 of those days it will have been spent in the Service department. Loner car.. its a friggin Chevy cobolt, stripped to the max. I'm driving a 36K dollor truck and they give me a cobolt. Now i'm just venting.

At least you got a loaner. Bought my truck the last day of Sept and it's been in the shop over 2 weeks out of the 7 I've owned it and I had to walk home from the dealer to pick up my other truck.....

That is horrible customer service. I would have demanded a rental or a loaner.

It is apart of the warranty provisions to get a rental if the vehicle is in for overnight service.

I do have to say that this dealership is very good overall. I haven't heard yet "can you duplicate the problem" or "it's within GM spec's". For that I am grateful.

Your dealer has to have courtisy service to drive you home & back but anything over a full day they have to supply a vehicle.

I don't realy think the dealer has to have any of that, its really up to the dealer, though a dealer would be flat out stupid to not make arrangments to get you a ride.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
