Hey there everyone, today I’m fixing the ‘ol ‘Burban and replacing it’s two knock sensors located on the top of the engine block below the air intake manifold… yay. Before getting started, I just want to acknowledge 1A Auto Parts and their step-by-step video (https://youtu.be/9kcLNY13ryE) which was EXTREMELY helpful to me, but I figured I would make and even more slow paced and detailed video for people that have absolutely no previous experience or knowledge working on cars (like me), so that I can show that ANYBODY can do this repair and save ~$950 (yeah, that was a real estimate for this repair from a Chevy Dealer in CA.)
