Default 2008 express 3500 6.0 knock sensor location?

Looks like I have a GEN4 6.0 on my 2008 3500 where are the Knock sensors located on this motor down below or are they all under the intake manifold?

thanks

That looks like this to me (as you say gen 4). Maybe charm had the wrong info for your year... Get what you pay for lol.

To update this turned out not to be the sensor but the wiring harness worn through more toward the front of the motor

ordered some products called cable tie links to get all these wiring sections secured better and keep wires from getting rubbed
side note they have the kits but one get one free right now
think these will be very usable on older cars
