Where can I find a reasonable price on one? Cheapest I've found them is 70 bucks.

 

Did you try Jason Cromer or gmpartsdirect?

 

thepartsladi on ebay has them for $59.00

59 bucks and 10 $ shipping..

 

I dont know I read on an f-body site that you can get it for 27 bucks and not to overpay. thats the reason I asked. thanks

 

How old is that info, though. I paid $26.61 shipped, but that was back in November of 1998. (List price then was $41.61. List price now is $129.58)

 

I don't know if this matters but it says in this ad here
Knock Module Sensor LT4 Only Not LT1 OEM GM 16214681 New ACDelco GM Genuine General Motors Factory Original Equipment . Is this the one I need? Just wanted to make sure before I ordered. thanks

 

ummm.. its from 08-13-2001

 

There is only one LT4 KM and that is it.

 

Is it possible to buy the part locally like autozone , oreilly's?

 

AFAIK, it is a GM part only.

 

got one new in box will sell 2 ya for 40 bucks if ur interested let me know

 

Has anyone heard that this part has been discontinued by GM? Is there any advantage of running this part over the LT1 knock module? I had considered purchasing one, but eventually came under the impression that any benefits associated with the LT4 KM could also be accomplished via a tune? Is that true? My car has nothing but headers, but someday I may want to do more.

 

No, it is not discontinued. [edit] Just saw someone on another board saying it was. Several online places where you can search by part number don't say it is.
Certain knock parameters in the tune can be adjusted minimize the effect of knock, but the "listening" properties the module actually does cannot be duplicated.

 

I sent an email to Jason Cromer. He said his system is showing that the part is backordered, but not discontinued. I guess that's a relief for anyone that might want the part. I did see a thread on another forum this morning stating that the part had been discontinued.
