No prob PM if you can't figure it out but it should be the most simple **** you've ever done. You got the IM off so I know you can handle this no problem.

I got the old one off, had to go buy a socket for it. Couldn't get a wrench around it, so I went and got a 1 1/16 socket, and it works perfect. Now my issue is.....GM parts gave me the wrong one. The pin connector on the sensor is 2 pin, while my old one and the actual wire on the car is 1. So getting the new part tomorrow. Also lost a bolt for my rear coolant plug, so going to try to find one. I was confused at first with those, but I called ws6store and they helped me out. The instructions on ls1howto was throwing me off. All is going...somewhat....well.

I found a DEEP one. lol. Barely fits, but if you are careful it works. I got the plugs on as well. Now I need to find time to finish the damn thing. And I do have another car....DD 2.5L Ranger. Slow, but totally works. Thanks for the help though. I just don't have time to finish this project.
