How long is the wire off your sensor?

Nice looking truck you have there.

why doesn't it fit?

wire length ?
or plug shape, round vs square ?

if you still have your original O2, cut the sensor off the end, save the plug, and splice it into your new O2. I had to do that. match wire colors. 2 whites, gray, black. whites are heaters, both identical, so it doesn't matter which white goes to which.

i don't know the color pattern, but if you position the wires or plug where nothing will touch or short out and turn on the ignition - then probe them, the 2 with 12 volt signal go to the heaters. one is a ground, and the other is the input signal to the pcm. i don't remember which is ground, gray or black.
