autozone has the denso, and oreilly's has BWD Part Number: OS2079 i know to stay away from the Bosch sensor but what about the BWD


auto zone= 112 vs oreilly's -44.95 any concerns about the bwd sensor?

The other day i was asking a mechanic buddie of mine if it would be ok to just go with the cheapest one,
He said he had an 06 Ford come in the other day with the Universal Oxygen Sensor in it, and it was running like crap.
They replaced it with the Denso and it ran Perfect.
Maybe he got a bad sensor, maybe not.
Id go the extra mile and get the Denso...But maybe thats just me.
Ill be replacing mine soon

makes sense, but anybody ran other than the denso and worked?

alright now im at all new plugs,wires,cap,filters (except the one for the pump) and still ran like a blown head gasket special. so i went after the o sensor ordered one should be here tomorrow, got curious and unplugged it and now the truck runs like a champ what gives i thought if the sensor wasn't there it would run even worse

but mines still unhooked and it runs like a beast

i know that i still have to replace it. but always thought that when they go bad it'll run like ˟˟˟˟ and it has. but i unplugged it left it bolted to the exhaust and the truck runs 100% has more get up and go w/o it. plugged it back up and it runs like ˟˟˟˟

then i guess in my cause with it being unplugged my engine told it to go pound sand cause it works better w/o it. i hate sensors half the time you dont need them

gotcha, unplugging my tps has no effect on the engine , afm works kills the engine if unplugged, ignition seems to be fine , egr seems to be fine, filters are fresh, dont seem to be having any fuel issues as i can hear the pump turn on. where else could i be over looking, engine has new hg, pumps,chain from engnbldr

nope i dunno what the hell is going on. even tore apart the dash and checked every wire to make sure nothing was exposed. all the vac lines are hooked up and not leaking (but will be replace)

yotarover

no codes are being thrown either. none before as well all i know it once i unplugged the o senor it's like it wants to plow the road and nothing is going to stop it cept my foot on the pedal

ecm works fine took it out plugged it into a buddies truck and his ran fine

alright back with more updates on what's been replaced and blah blah

i pulled out from a hill nothing coming go i eased on out got in the next lane and was just chugging along. big ass truck comes outta no where saw it getting closer so i push the pedal nothing just rolling, so i dropped down to 1st (have a auto) and it starts screaming up the road changed to 2nd still screaming , go to drive i have a slug.

come home leave about 3o mins later im in drive and can tap the gas and gets up and goes. you can see in the previous post what i've changed out . haven't ruled out the injectors but what else could cause this

yotarover

yeah i checked it yesterday the ( i pulled into a tranny shop and he told me that it was sticking/holding to long for the transmission to shift so he loosened it up) that da didn't even tighten it the nuts back up they came off of the bracket . this mourning made sure that it was idling around 750. this is what gets me everything was fine till i had a shop install a gutted cat (didn't have one before i just just had a cb glasspack and a turbo

my buddies keep telling me that since it's been installed it's ran like ˟˟˟˟, being i had a nearly open exhaust before any chance this could be the culprit ?
