Default AC Delco, Denso, or Bosch for O2 sensors

Well my truck apparently likes to eat the Bosch O2 sensors i got from Oreilly's auto parts. I was just wondering what everyone prefers.... I am thinking about replacing my Bosch ones for some AC Delcos...

I run Denso's in mine , they seem to hold up well. I quit using the Bosch years back because I had nothing but issues with them.

NTK makes some good stuff, probably can't go wrong with Denzo or AcDelco though. Bosch is alright if you're looking to just run to the parts store and pick one up, but if you've got the $$ and time, there are better options.

Went with Bosch from Oreilley's but had issues with them, sucked it up and paid a bit extra for some from GMPD and no problems at all.

cool, thanks for the inputs. I just ordered 2 AC Delco ones from rockhardauto and it only cost me 108 shipped for 2... That is way cheaper than the Bosch ones i bought.

Wow $108 shipped for 2 that's a heck of a deal, I know where I'll be ordering o2s from next time I need some.

Yeah the Bosch ones don't seem to be worth a crap.

That's why they have a warranty, which IS refundable FYI.

Corey, you can take your O2 sensors back to O'reillys and explain the problems you've been having and tell them instead of constantly replacing them, you decided to put OEM parts back in it and would like a refund. If they give you any trouble about it, let me know and I can help you out


Alex, the Bosch O2 sensors are still decent products. Some have problems with them, some do not. The O2 sensor that came with my LC-1 wideband is a Bosch sensor.
