- 2019 Dodge Challenger Redeye WB
Good morning. Not many automotive things going on with the nation in an ice box I noticed. Let’s discuss what may cause a knock sensor to believe it has a problem.
I have the Redeye up on the QuickJacks for its annual detail and maintenance. While the belly pans are off, I always touch everything I can. It is an instinct and technique learned from owning and riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle and certainly when I built and rode a custom chopper. Just casually wiping everything, and listening is a good time.
DING, RATTLE, RATTLE! I believe someone has seen the same problem, but I can’t remember who and where I saw the post. So, let’s make a thread. @DodgeCares you should pass this up the line. That little stud is too small. I have no idea what was on there before, but I had to find a couple of nuts for it in the “weird stuff” boxes. I have seen child’s toys with larger fasteners! Give me a break. The sticker on this car was over $92k. This is your premiere engine. Yes, I know it is the same starter as about any V8 has, so do a better job!
SOB is fixed now and double nutted. What I would like to know from my friends here is do you think a knock sensor may have been hearing the rattle this thing was making?? I will find out soon enough, and report back here once we have it out again. Until then, what does everyone think? Stay warm because it is going through -20 here this morning outside.
