    True true. I guess I should have said well I will use this one guy as an example he's an older School older guy and he says he won't order anything online even if it's OEM and it's cheaper LOL he likes to go in the store where he puts his hands on the item. But to each their own I guess LOL

    My old man is the same way. Old school, I guess. They crack me up. I don't need to talk to anyone, lol. I know what I want and I don't usually trust the parts store monkeys or care about their recommendations.

    * Usually is the key word. Don't want to offend anyone that actually knows what they're talking about and works at a parts store.

    Hey, looking at my truck and minute ago and just googling images I don't see my downstream sensor. I see the one before the cat only

    .......Found it. Haha looking from that angle you surely won't see it. Looked from pass side underneath and saw sensor 2. So is there only 2 on the truck?

    VA?
    Also just looked and did not see one after the cat. I didn't see any wiring or anything after the cat either though I was lying on my back and just looked from that angle lying under the truck. I will double check right now. The reason I'm mentioning this is looking at some images there appear to be some that look like my setup and want to definitely make sure I'm changing the correct sensor.

    Sorry I did find the correct sensor I edited the previous reply and post

    And ordered the part last night should be here by Thursday. Free did some pre checks and my bolts come loose pretty easily not like loose or anything but I didn't put any PB Blaster or anything on the truck. I did have it have it running for a few minutes while I was putting it on the ramps

    Very nice, that's always a huge plus, don't even have to use a penetrant?? Lucky you. And good idea on getting the exhaust nice and hot to free up those bolts as best as you can. Sounds like your O2 sensors swap will be a walk in the park. If you want to, you can put some anti-sieze on those bolts before you reinstall them. Keep them nice in case you ever have to get them back out for some reason.

    Yes definitely. I'm going to just replace the one sensor. If the other clunks out soon I'll replace lol.
