[motownZ]

while got like 3 different storys from different shops and just want to know from some real f body owners if there interchangeabol. ??? they look the same

[GETGONE]

Fronts and rears are almost always different part numbers. They install the same way but are different sensors.

Oh WADE ....where are you ??????

same

In fact most people that have headers use corvette rear sensors

In fact, I have my stock rear ones in the front now. I killed the fronts and took the rear ones out of my cats cause they had been removed at 14,000miles

thakns thought i was crazy when murrays told me different

[1BADAIR]

they might have small differances(heater elements) but they work

[GETGONE]

It depends if they are heated front and rear sensors. Not all vehicles have heated front sensors. I know the wire lengths are different depending on location and vehicle, and sometimes plugs as well. My 98 Sonoma didn't have a heated front sensor but my V6 has heated fronts(both ODB2). I bought new ones to replace them(for $200 for all 3!!!) but found a cracked vaccum line was causing my lean issues and not faulty O2 sensors. All rear O2 sensors after the cat are heated types though. I believe there are variations in heated types as well, 3 wire and 4 wire.

Except this time

Fronts and rears are the same O2 except wire length. Most guys use the vette O2's because they have a stronger heater element that works well with full length headers.

Well it's not the same if it has a stronger heater element now is it?!?!?!

No...vette is a different set-up than f-bodys. I believe this is due to exhaust design.
