I need to replace my O2 sensor and my Throttle Sensor in my 98 RAM 1500. The mechanic said those 2 products are $120-200 EACH but im looking online and i can get both of them for $80. Is there a recomended manufacturer for these products or would any one of them work for my pickup?

is that price for them installed?

Dodges 02 sensors are easy to get to.....

Might even try the dodge dealership, sometimes they are the exact same price as a parts store

o2 sensors aren't cheap //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Usually $30-$40 each.

also, sometimes the cheap o2 sensors are universal and that is why they are so cheap

universal meaning you have to cut and splice your harness from the vechile

I know of a lot of shops that charge a mark up on parts. It would be the same exact part you would buy at Autozone and they run down their and pick it up, and come back and charge an extra 10% or so.

My sensor cost me 150 and I installed it myself. As been said earlier it's an easy install. Also you can go and sign out the tool needed to remove the sensor from autozone.

399 our cost, where do you get im making money off that? its a 5wire wideband o2 sensor therye not cheap, and if you think you can just cut your plug off and wire it in have fun buying more every few months. do it right once....
