I'm currently rebuilding my exhaust.
In the need of new Oxygen Sensor.
Is it OK to get a replacement one from A-Z, Oreiley's or etc, or should I get one from the dealership?
Difference of +/- $50
What do you guys think?

 

Most auto parts store will sell the denso, or NTK brand sensors. Either would work just fine. Stay away from Bosch.

 

Hey You, hows that O2 senor I sold you workin' out?

 

In the Dakota R/T world, it's pretty much understood the only O2 Sensor worth buying is from the Dealer, most all have had problems with the other brands of sensors mentioned.

 

Beautifully, thank you very much. Doing about 12 around town, and 16-17 on the freeway. Which, for a 3/4 ton truck, really ain't that bad......

 

i bought the NTK from amazon.com way cheaper than dealer or autozone. works great.

unplug your old one before you buy a new one and confirm the shape of the plug - round vs square. for some unexplained reason, many of the application guides will sell you the wrong one. i think its the california vs federal difference.

 

isnt denso what came form the factory?,,,, so is that what the dealer sells you?

 

I do believe so.

 

NTK is what I had.
NTK is what I got from NAPA - exact replacement, about $60
Thanks guys

 

NTK = NGK, if everyone didn't already know that. Same company.
