Which brand of sensors?

I'm preparing to do the 60K and didn't know if it is fine to use non-Motorcraft sensors. I know I need to change the CPS when I change the waterpump, and I think I need to replace the camshaft sensor. My local autoparts stores have Bosch, Wells and a couple others I can't remember. I know my SHO only likes Motorcraft plugs and I just want to check on the sensors so I don't have to buy them twice.

I bought my crank position sensor at autozone. I do not remember what the brand was.

Well SDPATT has both Wells and Borg Warner sensors that can be used. They can be purchased at Autozone.com or O'rielly auto parts stores respectively. Good luck.

Bosch O2 sensors and Motorcraft plugs, I'd have to say that any other sensors (ckp, cps, dis, blah blah) should be ok with generic's (since they're all from the same supplier for the most part)

Thanks for the answers. I had visions of buying the generic brands, which would not work, and then having to buy Ford parts to get my car working properly.

Can you mix & match O2 sensors?
I have a new Motorcraft on my left bank & want to do my right bank this summer. The Bosh cost seems much more attractive but I don't want any problems since getting to the right bank on the ATX is tough.

Should not be a problem.
