Stay away from "universal" O2 sensors that require you to cut/crimp your old
connector into the new one. Reason for this is that the newer style O2
sensors use the wires as an air passage for O2 measurements. Plug it and
you'll get either incorrect readings or a check engine light. How much
less are they from the Mopar units?

Subject: DML: Replacing O2 sensors on 2001 3.9L V6

Before winter gets here, I'm planning some preventative and other
maintenance
on my '01. I have that driveshaft to install, brakes to do, and I'm looking
to do plugs, wires, and O2 sensors. The truck has just over 100K miles on
it,
and I have no records prior to 95K, so I'm assuming that the plugs, wires,
and O2 sensors are originals

Looking at Rockauto.com, it looks like I need two O2 sensors:

BOSCH Part # 15729 {Oxygen Sensor}
Right side; 4 Wire; Heated; Check / Replace Interval: 100,000 Miles;
Universal
Type - Upstream
Left side; 4 Wire; Heated; Check / Replace Interval: 100,000 Miles;
Universal
Type - Upstream

BOSCH Part # 15730 {Oxygen Sensor}
Right side; 4 Wire; Heated; Check / Replace Interval: 100,000 Miles;
Universal
Type - Downstream
Left side; 4 Wire; Heated; Check / Replace Interval: 100,000 Miles;
Universal
Type - Downstream

Right? Or would I be better off with the Denso, Standard Motor Products, or
AC
Delco parts here?
