TowndawgR50 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Ive attempted to buy an OE direct fit Bosch right side upstream O2 sensor twice now, both for 01 models, but neither fit the bill. Apparently the only options are for rigs manufactured up to 7/00 or after 8/00. Both options wont work for my truck. The earlier model has the correct male plug but was too short, the later model is the proper length but wrong male plug. My truck was made in 7/00. Anyone else have this problem? I'll be calling a local dealer tomorrow but I was hoping to get away without buying from them. The original sensor is a Bosch A24-A71. The earlier model option I bought was a C24-A71 and had the correct male plug but was too short, which i attribute to the "C" designation in the part # The later model is the correct length but wrong male plug manufacture date of 7/00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowndawgR50 Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 230 bones for a dealer O2 sensor. Called and they verified the unit they have was the right length and plug type. Im going to a local autozone to inspect a different unit by the same number one more time before i get robbed. Pretty bummed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowndawgR50 Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Multiple parts, all too short. Going with a bosch universal. I cant in good conscience fork out 230 for that O2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowndawgR50 Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Aaaaaand apparently they dont make a universal right side upstream O2. Looks like I'll be splicing the wires from a new shorter O2 and lengthening them. So for anyone else out there with this similar but seemingly rare problem, this is the moral of this crappy story: My truck was manufactured in July of 2000 The upstream right side O2 sensors used on 3.5 R50's changed between 7/00 and 8/00 Bosch part #13630 is the correct sensor and male plug but too short, listed as a direct fit for trucks made up to 7/00 Bosch part #15343 is the incorrect sensor and plug but is the correct length. Nissan genuine part# is 22690-4w012 and is the correct length, sensor and plug but $230 at my local dealership or $156 on the web from courtesy nissan here Edited November 25, 2015 by TowndawgR50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
