Probably a dirty vent valve, and change the knock sensor. Usually its the one further up on the block. Water gets in and damages the sensor. Put some high temp rtv around the hole for the sensor and it should be good to go

I believe the knock sensor resides in the ecu.

If its like mine was, you have to pull the intake manifold off. Took around 3 hours to do

Not hard at all just took some time. Gotta remember where everything plugs into. The injector rails have to come out along with all the wiring. What year is the truck?

The sensor itself wasn't expensive, just takes a lil bit of know how to replace it. But it's not hard at all
