o2 sensors

[jniemiec]

just wandering if you people think the Bosch o2 sensors are worth getting, or should i stick with the factory ones?

Just went thru changing them on my F-150. The Bosch's were more expensive than OEM and they were universal...they didn't come with the connector. I figured why bother slicing. It's just another place for problems to crop up later.

I recently replaced both of mine with the Bosch ones, they were about $35 a piece from Advance Auto Parts and were direct replacement. They were cheaper than the OEM ones from the dealer, and I'm getting better gas mileage now.

I got my boush 02 sensors on a little while ago. They work good and look like good quality.

I was told that the Bosch sensors were the same as the Ford's.
They're cheaper because the Ford name isn't on the box.

The Bosch sensors are top-notch. They parts listed below come with the 8.5" leads and mating connector that let them plug right in to the SHO's system. Be aware that you need two of them.

3.0L: Bosch 13942 AutoZone/AZ.com $38.99
3.2L: Bosch 13223 or 15716 AutoZone/AZ.com $40.99

I just checked the Bosch O2's online at autozone.com and the price is $44.99 each for P/N 13942. Scott is getting them for $33.99. jniemiec is getting them for $38.99. What the **** is going on with the pricing at Autozone?

 

[jniemiec]

well with tax and all i paid 40.94 each for the 3.0 sensor at my local autozone. had to go out of town to get the other one cause the idiots didnt order me 2 of em...but it was the same at both autozones i went to.

AutoZone has regional pricing on certain parts.

The O2 sensor is one that has been noticed. Ask one of the California guys..
