hiyall
I am curious,

how much of a difference is there between using different makes of sensors?

I recently ordered an Advantech AIRTEX / WELLS CSPS and a Crankshaft positioning sensor off of Rockauto . com

While waiting for them in the mail, I bought a Crankshaft positioning sensor at NAPA . ..
I installed the Napa one..

I am only assuming the NAPA one is of better quality because of the way it looks and its comparative cost to the Advantech one online.

There shouldn't be a problem putting different makes of sensors in my truck should therE?
Thank you

 

People here in the past have reported problems after using aftermarket sensors on these trucks. The prevailing agreement seems to be to stick to OEM.

 

I would argue that "some" aftermarket sensors would be ok to use, mainly the 0-1v stuff: coolant temp, oil pressure, etc. The only 0-1v sensor I would NOT an aftermarket replacement would be O2 sensors. Anything else that runs 0-5v, (crank position, map, IAT, TPS, etc. ) I would stick with OEM. Anything suspension related = no factory components at all, ever. Anything steering (minus outer tie rod ends), stay factory. Any type of aftermarket chew can holder is acceptable.
