| Earlier today I swapped out the exhaust manifold on my GMC due to some other issues. I had a 3' pipe on a box wrench to try and take the o2 sensor out of the manifold I replaced and it would not budge. So I am just going to get a new one. It is a 1 wire sensor. A universal Bosh is $18 (Basically I can cut the wire off the one I have and reuse the connector) A direct fit Bosh is $48 Is there any reason why not to go with the universal? |

You don't need it,just put some ductape over the hole. |

Single wire? Should be fine. Just make sure the splice is far from the manifold and properly supported. Use plenty of heat shield on the wire. This must be a 1980s or early 1990s 2000 2.2L I think the one after the cat has multiple wires, but this is a single wire. I was thinking I would just solder the connection and cover with some heat shrink |
