There is a knock sensor issue with many LS1 engines. Mainly code P0327 low input. Many (including myself)have replaced both sensors and harness,
but to no avail. Code still comes back, or never goes out. Any thoughts about a resolution?

What brand of knock sensor did you use?

My experience with 5.3L knock sensor codes is that OE sensors must be used. The popular and cheap option (starts with a 'D' and ends with a 'orman', a.k.a. NAPA Solutions) does not generate enough amplitude during the invasive knock sensor test to make the PCM happy.
