This is correct, and something that many people are not aware of

Do yourself a big favor and get an OE O2 sensor. Spend the extra money on a Delco. I have fixed countless vehicles with junk O2 sensors from discount parts stores.

As much as I agree, I have to admit that one of my OEM O2 sensors went at 11k, but I've seen cheapo parts that are bad right out of the box...

fixed the problem!!! (so far) truck was running horrible on the way to get the o2 sensor. Came home and replaced it and it running like a champ. I went out and romp'd on it and then slow'd down real fast. Which before it would die. Not anymore. And before when it shifted into 2nd at WOT it would fall on its face, not now! I am amazed and hope this was the cure. Thx for the help guys. By the way the old o2 sensor is solid black! not good

let me ask you this.....do u think that day i sucked in a little water it "decarbonized" my motor in turn getting carbon all over that o2 sensor and fouling it out?

I have seen to many aftermarket O2's that are "universal" and simply do not work. The worst I have seen was on a Cadillac Catera that had the universal sensor with cut and spliced connectors. At the end it cost the customer $1200 to make it right.
