    Hi whackedm04,

    That's definitely knock shown in your log (sawtooth pattern)... and it sustained for about 9 seconds... could you hear it knock...?

    Burst Knock Retard is what the PCM predicts it should remove from ignition timing to avoid knocking... BKR does not show up on the KR pid in the log, it is merely subtracted from timing and you will see the SPARKADV pid drop a few degrees.

    I can't really tell if you're running lean at WOT (but it seems so from looking at the pid O2S11-OS2V in your log... but, do not rely on the NBO2 sensors to tell you the AFR at WOT... you will need a wideband for this).

    Can you capture another log with these pids (but if you hear it knocking, back off immediately, you already know knock damages your motor):
    VSS
    RPM
    TP
    DYNCYLAIR or DYNCYLAIR_DMA
    DYNAIR
    MAF
    MAP
    IAT
    ECT
    AFR or EQIVRATIO
    SPARKADV
    KR
    HO2S11 (not HO2S12 or HO2S22)
    HO2S21 (not HO2S12 or HO2S22)
    LONGFT1
    LONGFT2
    maybe SHORTFT1
    maybe SHORTFT2

    Keep the pid channel count to 24 or fewer channels... you can delete the other pids.

    Also if oil is being ingested thru PCV plumbing, this will help the motor to knock.

    Post your tune also.
    Looking at that....you are stoich right up to and around 100kpa and 60% throttle.
    Sounds lean to me.

    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T
    MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE
    DUCT TAPE.
    IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

    You should log HO2S21 instead of HO2S12...

    yeah that's tricky... the notation works like this:

    HO2Sxy

    x = bank number: 1=LHS (cyl# 1,3,5,7), 2=RHS (cyl# 2,4,6,8).
    y = sensor location: 1=front (before cat), 2=rear (after cat).

    You log shows several things...

    at significantly large throttle:
    - HO2S11 indicates you are probably quite lean;
    - LTFT's are adding about 10% (and that's not enough);
    - commanded AFR is staying at stoich until TP hits 89%;
    - acceleration seems very sluggish (regardless of being a a truck);

    sounds to me like:
    - PE is not enabling or insufficient;
    - IFR, VE, MAF are not corrected;

    I agree with Howard.
