Default O2 Sensor

Looks like I have a bad one on my 96 LT4.

1. Who makes the OEM ones?

2. Where is a good place to buy them?

I have Bosch and have had good look with them over the years, though a few people have had problems with them. Just get a name brand at you local auto parts store and you will be fine.

I'm having issues with my O2's as well. I replaced the faulty on about 1000 miles ago with a bosch unit and now I'm having the same issues as before. The new O2 has crapped out in only 1000 miles if that. I just ordered a Denso O2 that will be here friday and hopefully end my O2 problems. I wouldn't recommend bosch as an alternative.

I use AC Delco exclusively, I have had issues with aftermarket sensors both with life spans and with proper fuel trims.

I am using a Bosch O2 sensor in my 86 and I have AC Delco's in my 95.

Check your local Chevy dealer.

I bought new GM sensors from Fred Beans (forum supporting vendor). They were ~70 each.

I prefer OEM, but I have had good luck with Bosch too.

I've changed all in my 95.

Replaced with discounted Borg Warners I found on Ebay,,,,3 for $90

Only problem was the pas side one flamed out after 2,500 miles

Replaced with AC Delco from Rockauto.com (Excellent Pricing & service).
