If I am putting this in the wrong section please move...for anyone looking to replace your front o2 sensor with the OE replacement unit I stumbled across this:

$67.51

 

I got you beat, I can get it at my work for $63.71.

 

Well that is nice wish I could be as sped...err I mean special as you.

 

Dont hate... www.salvoautoparts.com

 

nice i paid alot more for mine!~!!

 

Hrm, mine is 45 bucks at kragen

 

I got mine for like $45 at www.sparkplugs.com

Local shops quoted me over $215

 

Aren't the $45 ones universal 4-wire? I went to sparkplugs.com and they wanted $98 or so for the direct plug in ones (the Denso part # I posted).

 

Sure you can get that $45 cheap Bosch junk. The Denso one is the factory OEM equipment, and it works the FIRST time without having to cut, splice, and hope it works.

 

i dunno mine was a cheapo like 28 bucks at kragen and it pluged right in, but then again what is the purpose on an 87 pickup? i ended taking it off and my truck runs the same. huh?

 

I went with the Bosch $45 one (got it from eBay) and my truck ran the same and threw the same code. So far so good with the Denso unit I posted in my original post *knocks on wood*.

 

if it throws codes again try the downstream sensors. from what i understand is those are the ones that tells your computer hoe the vehicle is running. idk.

 

Where in blazes is the sensor that is between the manifold and the cat? I checked the codes and it is bank 1 sensor 1...how to find?

Thanks

 

I bought the direct fit NTK (ngk) oem style replacement.

 

Ebay has great prices on them! You can get on for like 9.99 OEM, with 215 thousand miles on it, and all burnt up. I used one and it works for me! It will probably go bad in a week or two but oh well.

 

Interesting...on sparkplugs.com they list it as $92.85

 

Jay351's truck is a 1991. It's a different O2 sensor than yours. His is listed as $47.85. I bought mine from the same place but I have a 1993...and the O2 sensor was about $97.00. But it evened up...his plug wires were way more than mine.

I find the little differences between trucks of the same generation very annoying.
