Oh my, I have a stalker.
Nope Detective Columbo. Brand new NOW for the rear. That post you sleuthed was when I was resetting the CEL due to my front O2 finally getting a mind of its own.
My post you linked was in Feb 2008. Here in 11/30/2008 the front was actually swapped. The info and photos may be useful for someone in the future here at DF:

Now my rear STOCKER 229,000++ O2 is bad/going bad more often and needs swapped once I get under there again. As I stated yesterday, it is still new and in the garage. Need a current photo of that new and still not installed O2 and today's newspaper dated headline as proof Detective??
Last time I tried to swap it, I couldn't get it to turn. In the same thread you smartassedly linked, posts in 12/09 and 3/10 I refer to the rear acting up occasionally. Here is a post 2 years, just last June where I reference the rear O2 purchased that is still in the garage today. http://www.durangoclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=136941
Let's get up a little earlier in the morning next time, shall we
HS, as for you... bite me.

Not trying to offend you I just thought it was funny that you wrote the exact same thing three and a half years ago. Do you save copies of your previous posts or something?

HS...
98Rango... its all good. Do I save copies of old posts? No. I just often have been through personally the same situation as most posts here and remember that I have/had a post related to that on my own sometime earlier. With 12 years and 229,000+ miles, there is little "new" to experience on the Gen1 Durango that I haven't dealt with. Thus it is easy to recall my own personal situation and recap it again and again. Instead of just linking to the DOC, it is good to add value to DodgeForum here and post the details in the thread here. That's all. Cut and Paste is following the "no need to reinvent the wheel" stuffs.
As for me being the smartass... uh... yea. Most likely. Sorry about that.
In the end, I hope the info helped you too. Specific to our O2s, if you can reset the CEL and keep it off for a few thousand miles miles over and over and over instead of just swapping it out, you can still get good drivability and add months or years to the life of the unit with little side effects. Like I said, my rear O2 is still the original. Based on the quality of gas I get, the CEL stays off most of the time. I can reset my own CEL so I just never let it stay on for more than the time it takes to get home and clear the code.
Honestly, HTH.

Yes this info helped me. It helped me realize that I need to get rid of this thing. I love it but the gas mileage is brutal and it's my only car. I am going to trade it in for a coupe or sedan before everything starts going out on it. haha
