Default Cheap AC Delco O2s

Hey guys, I'm getting of sick and tired of having the heater cores go out on the garbage Bosch O2's and I am biting the bullet and spending a bit more on the AC Delco's... But I was wondering if you guys knew of anywhere to get them for a decent price, I have seen them vary anywhere from $68-120.

Also, feel free to recommend me any other O2 sensor worth using. I am also considering NGK's as well.

Thanks!

You don't think there is a problem other than faulty/crap o2s?

Welp, I would switch them to the other side and even try them on a friends Camaro. Where ever those O2 sensors went, they always throw a code. Plug in a new one and it would go away... For three months lol

I am just done with them, on to the ones that everyone says work best in an ORY.

Just so I know... They were brand new throwing codes? 3 different sets?

Or you installed them.. Threw codes.. Then switched sides/cars?

Have you looked into NGK brand? I have been running with their brand for a long time and I haven't seen this problem for a while. Yes, I've tried A/C Delco, Delphi and Bosch brands.

I could be wrong but I don't think the genuine AC Delcos are available anymore. If you pay the extra cash for AC Delcos you're gonna get Densos repackaged in an AC Delco box.

I'm running the NGK 02s (NTKs) and they seem to work fine, car gets good mileage... I haven't checked for any codes lately (car has had the SES light for no rear 02s for a while now) so they might be throwing the "slow switching" code without me knowing. Either way they seem to work fine.

Nope. I said they would last roughly 3 months before they would crap out. Switching sides and cars was the method used to indicate the O2 failure.
