O2 sensor life in a long tube. Who's got the most miles? Who's got a really good run going on their 02 sensors with longtubes? How many miles?
I threw my first a slow switching code on the passenger side today after 34,000 miles on the sensors. I went ahead and ordered a new set but I was curious what the life expectancy is generally, since the sensor is moved about 18" further downstream then stock, not sure if that makes a big difference or not. I was expecting more like 50k+ miles. This code popped at the same time as a that evap code you get with a loose gas cap (P0442 I think). Don't see that they could be related but I cleared them and will see what happens. I'm running Walker's with no extensions.
