oxygen sensor (newbie question)

[bruce029]

Good Morning,

I have a 97 Ram 1500 with 318 motor. I was told that my oxygen sensors are bad and both need to be replaced. What would be a reasonable price on parts / labor ? How hard would it be to replace myself ?

Thanks,
Bruce

Installing the o2 sensors is as easy as twisting the key in the ignition mate, dont be affraid.

So if its that easy what is a price on the part ? under 100 bucks ?

[kaoru-tochiro]

Dodges are reasonably priced, I would guess $30, each sensor.

so for about 60 bucks I can replace both of them. And its basically just unscrewing the bad ones and screwing in the new ones ? DO I need to do anything with the computer chip ?
