Knock sensor or dealer copout?

Sucks to hear that they aren't going to be fixing your truck. However like someone said if the scanner doesn't tell them what to replace then they are going to throw parts at it until they get lucky or tired of messing with it. For the most part the techs think if you brought it to them then they know more than you and you should shut up and let them spin some BS to sound like they can diagnose anything. Most techs at dealerships end up asking for more money per billable hour which then in turn they are given jobs that they can't possibly finish in the alloted time and by the time they get done they have actually made less money each day.
