I do not trust Autozone anything anymore. I've heard of so many issues and had a few issues of my own.

Its about $30 more, but O'Reillys and Advance Auto have a good BWD sensor for $90-$100, depending on your location.

 

1+ on staying the hell away from Autozone. Most of the people I know that use them will go in with a part number, and will walk right back out with the wrong part. Last person I talked to, said they had to make 5 trips to the same store (23 mile drive) because they couldn't order in the correct radiator for their Ram Charger.

 

Well, my whole point is, get the map sensor. We have the Durango's and Dakota's already having good results with the magnum v6, 5.9L and 5.2L. We just need some people to confirm in the full size truck segment that uses these motors.

 

Pep Boys has the same BWD for $70. The MAP sensor at Autozone doesn't have a hard cover, it just a silicone top. That really bothered me.

 

The Duralast from autozone are made in the USA with a 2yr. warranty.

 

No offense man, but warranty doesn't mean jack with a crap company, which Duralast tends to be (in my and other friends' experiences). There are a million different ways they can deny your claim ("faulty installation" is what some companies claim, for example) or delay it to the point you finally get a new sensor a year after you mail it in.

Pep Boys would be the place to get the BWD then, if you have one around. There are none in South Dakota. O'Reillys gives you a lifetime warranty on the BWD sensor, Advance Auto only a 1 year. Something else to think about if you're big on warranties.

 

could you spray some cleaner in it and see if it would loosen some of the carbon up? or do yall think it would eat the diaphragm?

 

You can't clean it out. The diaphram hardens overtime.

 

This would be pretty much a waste of time of your plenum gasket is blown.

 

one of yall that just replaced yours should cut the old one open and check it out
