Default Which oxygen sensors for PSI harness?

Those of you running a PSI truck harness, what o2 sensors did you use?

Do you know what year & model trucks will work?

Just remember there are upstream (pre-cat) and downside (post-cat) sensors and they have different connectors on them. I have the factory harness and am using the pre-cat 2003 truck sensors. They have a triangular connector. You prolly already know this but just in case.

Its important you get the correct oxygen sensors.

99-02 the oxygen sensor heaters were powered directly by key switch. Full 12v+ and GROUND flowed to heaters anytime key was one. There are also two versions, case ground & isolated ground. Using isolate ground sensors in a harness built for case ground sensors will simply not work.

03+ the oxygen sensor heaters are given 12v+ from the key, but the PCM pulses the GROUND to the heater, controlling the amperage draw. The 2003 sensor shares the same connector as the 2002 back isolate ground sensor.

Call the builder of the harness and ask them, they should know.

6.0L's also got different sensors, triangle shape connector, but these two had different versions, case or isolate ground in the 99-02 years.

the 4.8 and 6.0 sensors have different connectors than the 5.3. Be sure to look at your
o2 connector on the harness to see if its a male or female, then you can go to Rockauto.com and look at the pics of the different o2 sensors to be sure you get the correct one.

Any sensor from a 4th gen LT1 F-body will work. Just went through this about a week ago with Jon from PSI

CopperTop, do you have the truck or LS1 harness? What years are 4th gen LT1 F-body?

crosstraining-Do you know what year & model trucks will work?
i ordered my harness for a 2006 5.3 but no i do not know the correct answer, hoping the answer would pop up here. i will know in a few days (hopefully) when the harness shows up. thought maybe PSI would've chimed in by now.

Looking at the pic(male connector) and taking it upon myself to cross reference on Rockauto.com, you need to order sensors for a 5.3 engine,
Bosch pt#15284, Denso pt#2344668, ACDelco pt#2131702.

To the op, I would like to specify that the pt#'s I provided above are for 03+. If your pcm is the earlier 0411, then you will need sensors for a 99'-02' Silverado 5.3.

It should say it on the instruction manual the aprt numebrs you can use. Go to the website and pull up the instruction manual and itll say all the aprt numbers of the sensors for the harness. AT least it did for my PSI ls1 harness.

Sent a PM to crosstrain.

Just an FYI, we use the 4-wire flat O2s on all of our drive by cable harnesses as they are often cheaper to replace and readily available. They were used on the 94-97 LT1 applications as well as a 2001 ZO6 (Im sure there are others). Our drive by cable applications use the 4-wire square (gray/white) O2s as the heater ground is modulated by the PCM. Please note that GM used 2 different types of O2s with what seems like 1000 different connectors so we offer what we feel is the best connector (cost and performance) to the customer.

As ItsSlow stated, our manuals are listed on our site for downloading or we are always a phone call away 732-691-6531.

I see on the site manuals for ls1 & ls2, but not the truck manual.

Sorry, read this from my phone the other day. I have the t56 car harness. I have the flat 4 connector like the LT1 cars.

What? So you're stating that you use 2 different o2 sensors for the dbc applications? Or did you mean to post that you use the 4-wire o2 for the dbw apps?

And to the op, is your setup dbc or dbw? If its dbw then get sensors for 04'+ 5.3. If its dbc then get sensors for 00'-02' 5.3.
And fyi, one would think that after spending $500.00+ on a harness, the correct ******* o2 sensors would be included in the purchase to prevent this sort of hassle. Just my $0.02!
