O2 Sensors

ok i just had my buddy scan my truck and my oxygen sensors are going. should i go with dealer sensors or just get some from somewhere else? im going to do the work myself.

I have always used bosch O2 sensors from the autoparts stores. I have never had a problem with them.

what does your truck act like when your sensores are going bad, thanks

It just kept poping codes, I don't really know the symptoms that go along with it.

yeah theres no symptoms really that you can feel. codes just kept comming up.

and thanks nineball

Bosch sensors are the best...but aren't they pricey also....300-400 canadian for the 4 plugs...

the two that i need are $88 american each. should i just go ahead and replace the one after the converter too?? or just wait for that one.

I guess it would depend on your funds. also, the old addage "if it's not broke, don't fix it." I probably wouldn't replace them until the computer told me to do so.

sounds good

ok....i guess my next question is...how hard are they to do on the ground. I do them all the time at work but its up on a lift. am i going to be able to get to them?

I can't remember which way they face on the truck, if they point towards the ground or if they are on top, close to the body. Either way you should be able to get to them with out a lift and probably with out a jack. All you will need is an O2 socket and quite possibly a breaker bar. I know the ones I have changed, for the most part, have all been siezed up.
