Did they tell you that you have a tire code too because you can only run factory Goodyears on your truck?

That doesn't make any sense. You may indeed have an 02 sensor code, however, it is likely due to something other than the brand of the 02 sensor. For instance, wrong part number, bad 02 sensor, burning oil and fouling the 02 sensor, rat ate the wires on the 02 sensor.... you get the idea.

Google Chrysler CEL codes and you can view an entire list of engine codes and compare to the code that you have. The lists usually show what the code pertains to such as: P0308 = misfire, cylinder 8

Haha, I love people who speculate when they don't know what the hell they are talking about, or who they are talking to for that matter.

I'd put money on the OEM ones are made by bosch... spark plugs on the newer trucks are bosch OEM.. at least in my 4.7 it's that way.

Bosch O2s don't work in Rams, or at least on '04 & '06 Hemis, know those two for a fact...


Actually, you can add the '03 as well:

I think it's a voltage issue because I know most widebands don't work plugged in their as well...

You know, when I did my swap to 03 hemi, I used brand new Bosch O2s. I had a code for the upstream right away but figured it might be an issue with the re-wiring. Replaced it with a new NGK and blamo, no code.

Hammer and Ben D - I just bought and replaced my front two O2s with some from Autozone. The P/N was 15504 and they are $25 each. To my surprise when I opened then box they had mopar part numbers on the bad. I can take a pic if needed. I put them on last week and had had no issues.
