Re: Aftermarket Oxygen Sensor

Use AC DELCO only if you want your car to run properly. Also, why would you want to pay $44 for one when you can get Delcos for under $40 from Jason Cromer?

Re: Aftermarket Oxygen Sensor

good point, I just paid 65 a piece for my delcos from orileys and fried them trying to splice my own extenders...I thought that was about the standard price for them.

Re: Aftermarket Oxygen Sensor

Do not splice or extend o2 sensors. Buy extensions.

Here's Jason's contact info.

Re: Aftermarket Oxygen Sensor

Its okay to splice the wires BEFORE the O2 sensors to extend them yourself Not the wires that are on the actual O2 sensor.
