Which Knock sensor would you use?

[KojiKP]

So I purchased 2 sets of knock sensors from different sellers.
First set is in Toyota packaging, has denso on the top, no writing on the side and unsealed connector. Hole in bottom of sensor

The other set is ‘Airtex/wells’ from rockauto. No marking on top, on side it has ‘55917264’ and ‘71’ under that. Unsealed connector and no hole in bottom of sensor.

After doing some reading, I was hoping the ones from rockauto would be denso as others have posted but I found this not to be the case.
Now my dilemma is which ones to use.
Thanks for your help!

I'd use the Denso. Our trucks always seem to prefer OEM parts.

I put these in in early August and have cleared my code and kept it off...they are now even cheaper than when I bought them at $60 for a set of 2... I thought too good to be true, but so far they are working well.

They say denso, are sealed, and have no hole in the bottom...

Thanks for the input, that's what I was thinking.

Thanks! I might return both sets and order those!

[etc.]

What drivability issues did you experience when they went bad?

None really, but got a CEL P0325. I ordered the harness as well.

Yeah pretty ridiculous. The ones from Rockauto were about $100 a piece I think, the other set I got was $85. I don't think either is the real deal. Don't really want to do the job twice

Worst part is the bolts at the back once you get past the plenum.

Get new intake gaskets too. I used felpro.

When I first found them I got the set of 2 for $60, which was half the price of 1 sensor everywhere else. I posted it up on another thread and guys said the pics looked like OEM...so I figured what the hell. So far so good.

i found OEM on ebay for $25 shipped.
