Knock sensor replacement I'm doin the LS6 intake swap and have heard that its a good idea to replace the knock sensors while ur in there. Why especially on 98's? Was there a problem with these sensors? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have never heard that before, why would there be a need to replace the knock sensors if there is nothing wrong with them? If they are working Ok then no need to replace.

I did a search on LS6 intake install and there's a write-up on there that says something about the 98 cars having **** knock sensors. Constant 3*-4* knock retard??

Yeah, I've heard that too.
One of those "only on the '98" things. But, I don't remember it being a constant timing offset, more along the lines of the sensors were prone to being "too" sensitive.
Not sure though.
