OK the sensor may not be bad, you might have a broken wire to the sensor. Or a bad plug, I would by pass the sensor plug - cut it out. Cut one wire at the time and reconect using a crimp on union (bu**) conector. You may also have a timing issue, that a tune up might fix..

Testimonial: "the code is when in star the car. made up tun. give me your email please"

SOURCE: I have a faulty knock sensor and need to replace

very common for these to have a knock sensor code. it usually isnt the knock sensor that is the problem. it will set the code when the knock sensor has adjusted all it can.
By any chance has the car been a little gutless lately. Thats because the knock sensor is retarding the timing because of pinging. First thing I would do is fill the tank with chevron highest octane and add the techron cleaner to help clean your injectors. And then clear the code and drive for a couple days. If the code comes back, clear it again. Could take a couple weeks to clean up the injectors but what you really are trying to decide is if the truck seems to have more power which will be an indicator that pinging is less.
Going from summer fuels to winter fuels can create this sort of issue. The blends are not the same
