I need some help replacing my o2 sensor in my truck. Bank 1 (drivers side) o2 sensor is bad. So i will give someone a half rack of there kokanee or $20 if they help me replace it this weekend. I have a socket set and most other tools needed.

dude, an 02 sensor takes 5 minutes. you need 1 can of penetrating lube, and 1 wrench

this is simple but requites a cutout socket about $25

what is a cut out socket?

Dusten · 10-03-2008, 09:18 PM

its a socket that will fit over the 02 sensor and the wiring

Here is a tip to get them suckers out. providing it is stuck as fuck. Hit it with the penetrating lube the night before, then hit it again that morning. a couple/few hours later start the engine so the pipe warms up. Try to get a box end wrench on the O2 sensor before you start the engine that way your ready to turn it. Let it heat to the point of where it's just to hot to touch. (minute or two) the metal pipe will expand faster than the O2 sensor, so be quick and turn the wrench when you shut off the engine. Before the O2 sensor reaches the same temp. those cut out sockets are not as handy as the seem. plus they spread apart when tristed hard. ruining your hex and making it harder for any other tool to work when it fails.
Just do it yourself, its really not that hard or big of deal Just be sure to use Anti-seize on the new one you install, and keep it only on the threaded area of the sensor NOT on the sensor area that sticks into the pipe. or you will be doing it over again shortly.

Today my engine light turned off...not sure if the shit burnted off of the O2 or now but i'll give it a couple days and find out.

I can give you a hand if you decide to do it. I have a grease pit in my garage, which makes doing o2 sensors much easier, even though with a truck it's probably not that bad.

And if you haven't bought an o2 sensor yet, oxygensensors.com is where I have bought my last fw o2 sensors, and they work fine for a decent price.

I actually did the o2 sensor last weekend. Thanks for the offer though.
