I used sea foam the oil change before last. I don't think I need to do it again so soon, right?

Your O2s can be going bad even though you dont get a code. Basically when it codes thats when the O2 is on its last leg and is BARELY functioning as is.

Whats your mileage like?

What are the good brands? Any part numbers?

I would pass on the used o2 sensor. Buy them new, get a warranty and be happy.

Possibly call TSP, they seem to get very good deals on GM parts. I bought a set of injectors from them before for cheap. Looks like gm parts direct has them for $70-$75.

The oxygen sensors are around $150 on there, unless I'm looking in the wrong spot.

I found these for like $40.

I assume I would need one each of SN4-113 and SN4-99.

What part number? I see 13111? They're $70.

Where exactly are the front two oxygen sensors?

Have you heard anything about these?
