4 o2 replacement Highly recommend

Works great on my 05 Dakota Quad Cab slt v8. It is recommended to replace all 4 sensors at the same time to simplify the installation.

Pros
  • A little above
Cons
  • Minor issues

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Arrived slightly damaged

Our fault it was the wrong part for my truck. BUT it arrived without a box, slightly damaged at the end, might still be usable. Please note that this is NOT a free return. The return shipping cost is $20.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • I will add later

Couldn't get a replacement

O2 connector not welded in the correct position, weld slag and material preventing the sensor from screwing in. Unable to swap to another node, prompted to select something else. I wanted to buy another one, but it was €40 more expensive.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Piggy Bank Price

Cheaper is not always better.

Replaced catalytic converter in late August and oxygen sensors. Since then the car has been in the workshop 4 times. Today the mechanic finally diagnosed the problem and one side is clogged with the catalytic converter itself. The low price should have been a hallmark. The cost of a better/new car would still be cheaper than having such a car in the shop. You get what you pay for and the guarantee on this option is slim as well.

Pros
  • Catalytic Converters
Cons
  • Factor Kit

Smoother idle and nothing else CEL

Fits my 2005 Dakota SLT very well. No bend at all. And if you're wondering like me, this will match a manual transmission V8 2WD. For some reason the Summit Racing website says "4WD Only" for this set of crampons. This is a reflection of the stock I drew. It is extremely easy to install, all O2 sensors fit correctly and there is no initial air leak. All that remains is the test of time, but things are going smoothly for now. Edit: It's been a little over a year and it's still working with no…

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Some little things
