check engine light indicates I need to replace the front , passenger side o2 sensor. I have the part ordered, and was just wondering: 1) how hard is this to replace? I'm not exactly savy at this type of stuff, but I can do some basic stuff 2) any procedures/pics to where I can find the o2 sensor? I'm not even sure I know where to look Thanks!!!

I did this just (last?) weekend. Error code P0155. Remove the plastic "splash shield that cover the transmission (6 bolts, 12 mm). Follow the exhaust pipe up and you will see the O2 sensor clearly. I did post a picture, will try to find the post and link to it here. You can easily get to it with properly sized crescent wrench, or a fixed wrench. I'll be running down to basement and ...

OK, not great photo, but look under: http://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.p...ghlight=sen sor post 10. You'll see the O2 sensor. Or, did find a slightly better picture... You can see the anti-sway bar in the bottom of the picture. Taken from below, up "along" the firewall. top of photo is towards the rear of the vehicle. BTW, I did buy my OEM Denso O2 sensor from www.sparkplugs....

Wow! great instructions. I found that sucker tonight (in the dark!) and will attempt a replacement in the morning. however - it looks very tight in there and maybe it's the angle I'm coming at it from, but i'm not sure how easy it will be to manuever a wrench in the tight space any ideas?

I used a crescent wrench of "medium" size. I had it sort of "upwards" when untightening it. I did measure the old sensor and it looks like it is a 22 mm, but caliper is not of that high quality so it might be a 21 mm. I did the job just crawling under the truck. Relatively easy. When done I realized I have a pair of ramps I could have driven up on. Oh, BTW, getting the connector ...

I'm not a big guy, the truck is on 33's and OME, and I just lay on my back and get them from underneath. Very very easy.

A newbie here...and 1st post... Had the same Error code #155. Wellcraft19 - Your instructions and photos were excellent!!! I went thought the wheelwell yesterday and finished the job in no time. Only difference was that I had to removed the front right tire to get more space.

Hey, glad it worked and you got some help. Just trying to "re-pay" some of the many tips I've gotten here. BTW, I saw HORRIBLE gas mileage on the first fill-up AFTER the new sensor. Only got around 190 miles on that tank! But, on 2nd fill-up, back to normal. Getting around 330 miles to a tank.

The front passinger side is Bank 2 Sensor 1. As an FYI...Bank 1 is on the driver side...and is so named (as I was told) because this is the same side as cylinder #1. Bank 2 (and cylinder #2) is on the opposite side of the engine (passinger side). Since I changed the sensor, (just as Wellcraft19 predicted) I'm seeing HUGE fuel efficencies...which translates into money saved given today's gas prices....

it's pretty easy.. i was just under there with my friend to tap into the sensor wire for an air/fuel guage.. pretty easy access once you remove the skid plate. 12mm blue wire is the sensor wire. .1v - .7v black sames to be power white ?? 4 wires

I think it's actually 7/8&quot; (at least, that's what the special O2 sensor socket I purchased was), which translates to just a hair more than 22mm. Both sizes should work if you are just using a wrench. The socket was a little hard to use in the cramped space when...

Had the P0155 on wifes truck, went in through the wheel well and ran into more hard lines than mark. Used a 7/8&quot; O2 crows foot that was like a flare nut wrench. Like others said, the hard part was getting plug undone...finally figured out to slide a small screwdriver under the tap and slightly lift, which allowed plug to slide out.
