Genuine ACDelco knock sensors
Here’s my problem, I have recently had a P0332 (bank 2 knock sensor) DTC on my recently rebuilt from the ground up 5.3 Vortec. I’m resigned to saying that the sensor is bad. Here’s my question, “How can anyone differentiate between a ‘genuine ACDelco’ knock sensor and any other sensor?”
I would like something concrete so that if I put three (or any number more than one) on a table, by themselves, I could look at them and distinguish the ACDelco product from others.
Cost, where purchased from, packaging are not important to my particular question here. I’m interested in some sort of trademark or other unique identifier.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Here's a recent thread regarding knock sensors. It's a long read, but the end result is that most of these brands (including Delphi and AC Delco) can sometimes be hit-or-miss (in terms of throwing codes):

In the above example, the OP ended up having best results with Duralast sensors. Hard to believe the AutoZone part was the best, but several other sensors caused him issues. So, at the moment, you might be better off with the Duralast brand anyway.
