Yep, they do, but it's $60.99.. $30 more than the other brand, I called up O'Reilly Auto parts and they ordered me a BWD part and told me it's brass. Apparently, all the new ones are made brass and the older parts were aluminum. I will let you know if this is true.

Here is a photo of the Borg Warner brass S4202 that I got from O'Reilleys a few weeks ago (pic was from an earlier post I made). About $38. Working fine so far...

That was true with the Buick sensor.

Chevy sensors ARE being swithced over to brass now, and the metric threads on them are correct.
