As far as knock sensors I usually pick them up at the stealership because that was the only place I could find the harness. I could have gotten the knock sensors for about 15 bux cheaper but didn't feel like driving back across town to pick them up. (dealership is only a mile from my house). Other than that I just pick them up at a parts store.

I run denso's from Standard Auto. And an oil pressure sensor from Oreilly's. Those are the only sensors that were replaced in my swap.

I'd try to get everything I could from Standard Auto. As far as aftermarket autoparts, I rank them #1, then Oreilly's. I try to avoid autozone and pep boys.

I would always try to run Delco parts, but some of them are ridiculously expensive.

Thanks guys, Im about to spend a couple thousand on my truck with the drop and a couple new sensors and tires. Just dont wont to waste money on sensors that are going to read wrong or something. And with a 6.5/8 drop do you think a 275 60 17 would fit nice? stock avy wheels.

I got new Denso O2 sensors from RockAuto dot com very cheap, they carry Delco products too, I recently got an ACDelco brake proportioning valve from them for my Blazer, they had the best price I could find on the net
