OK. I thought it was a typo but wanted to be certain. I'm planning a bunch of work on my truck in the next few weeks and hope to put the O2 on the list.

Yea I remember that post now, LOL. Just use the non foulers, don't worry about what brand that sesnsor is. Use your old one for that matter.

Should probably invest in a bottle or two of blinker fluid as well. Maybe even some muffler bearing grease.

Oh wait, wrong website. It's KaleCoAuto.com that sells that stuff. My bad.

Bosch sensors read slow, compared to NTK and Denso sensors. You can see the lambda swing with a good scanner, it's just slower. The Denso sensor has a larger opening for exhaust gases than the NTK sensor, so they might wear out a bit more quickly.

NTK is the sensor division of NGK, but same company. Denso makes the factory part.

That's interesting. The obvious next question that info raises is: would faster sensors offer some performance advantage? I don't know much about the control loop in these trucks but I've read that slow O2's are all that is necessary with my 5.0 ford for example. ie faster wont buy you anything.
