My local Advance Auto Parts has all 4 waiting for me. Will try to do them wednesday morning. Should be easy to get the Bosch ones out considering they have been in there only a few days and i put Anti Sieze on the threads.

Just for the hell of it, i called my local dealer today and asked what they charge for replacing all 4 O2 sensors. You ready for this? $437.00. Needless to say i told them no thanks.

 

My point exactly. it is greed only. Whether the sensors work or not, greed lines the quote and silly pays the bill.

Thank you NV for the poat. Is your appointment tomorrow. Haha

 

Bosch units are swapped out for the NGT units. Check Engine light was able to be reset and so far after a 20 mile round trip, has stayed out.

Crossing my fingers this issue is over with.

 

NV just to be sure, The NGT units are OEM brand or they are not. I know you said you got them at advanced. Ive been waiting to do mine, until you got it all figured out. Sorry to let you be the guinea pig, cause I started the thread to avoid all this. Good job in the end and thank you everyone for the help (sorry for the misunderstandings too)

 

Hammer confirmed, as did a guy i know who used to be a Chrysler tech that NTK is the brand installed at the factory. Had i thought of it at the time, i would have compared the NTK's to the original ones i took out side by side. But i forgot. The sensors do look exactly the same though.

One thing i did notice differently. The Bosch units had two different wire lengths for the Pre and Post cat units. The Original ones and the NTK units i relaced them with all had wires the same length.


(Also: Forgive me for continually writing NGT, i meant to say NTK)

 

Yeah, being an admin on here I have lots of sources for technical information on Mopar products that most people don't have access too. I also used to do some side work for a Mopar Performance shop and can hit up the ex-owner for info when needed. Also get along pretty good with a former service manager and head tech at a Dodge dealership, although they specialized in Jeeps which made up 90% of their sales. I can still get some good info and can hook up their StarScan tool whenever I want to...

 

Lucky guy, the Starscan is like 2000$.

I will take side by side pics of the NTK and the Oem's and we can confirm whether they are exactly the same.

Still having good luck with no CEL, NV?

 

Yes, fuel economy is getting better and no sign of any CEL.

 

It's amazing how things work when you use the right part. Good to hear...

 

Changed mine out today. No CEL so far and I do not believe it will happen as these are OEM replacements.
