Bosch or AC Delco front O2 Sensors? Should I go with the Bosch front O2 sensor or AC delco ones? Bosch exact fit ones are much cheaper and in stock at auto zone.
Bosch part # 13444

We've had way too many defective Bosch sensors right out of the box over the years....we only use AC Delco sensors now and it saves us alot of headaches!

When it comes to O2 sensors you get what you pay for...AC Delco sensors have a very long life span and are worth the $$ because they work correctly...I got 128,000 miles out of my first set and have 75,000 miles on the second set and they are still running strong....I have heard a lot of stories about problems with bosch and other off brand O2's ... you might figure that you are saving money buying the cheeper sensors but when your car runs like crap and you have to buy another set you did not save any money and you had to deal with a unnecessary problem that you created by being a cheepskate.

I am assuming that you are discussing NBo2 and reading them with am A/F gauge but what about WBo2 sensors, what do you suggest?
Also are you guys running simulators in place of the rear o2?

+1. Just bought an Autometer wideband with guage. It came with a Bosch, but I'd like to know if it's worth switching to AC Delco. I'm concerned more with accuracy, not longevity (the car only see a couple thousand miles a year). Has one proven to be more accurate than the other?

The 13111 is vette rear sensor from something like 02-04 if I am not mistaken. That would be a good place to start looking.
Personally, I have installed or directed the installation of over 100 sets of 13111's for F-bodies with long tubes and never had one bad out of the box or had them fail early (unless the engine had an issue like misfire or used leaded fuel), but everyone seems to have their own opinions about front O2s.
