Well, it'll work. We won't be running it all that long so it won't cause any problems with the sensor's life. And, while it might be close on some it is just right on others. It'll work.

But, do you know that the existing sensor or plug is going to want to come out?

And, 18 minutes to leaving time?

I do not believe it will pose a problem. When I first bought the truck [6+ years ago], I replaced the sensor and although I don't remember the actual event, my normal protocol is to apply anti-seize and not over-tighten.


We will see!


Yes, very soon and then on to complete loading and packing!!!

Anti-seize is good stuff! Yes, we will see. Might want to test it tomorrow evening and PB Blast it if it doesn't want to come out.

Ok, pack well and drive safely. And I'll sure be glad when you get here as that's when, by definition, I need to stop cleaning!

No, I really need the time. Drive at your normal pace so it'll be a good test. Both ways.

No, sorry. That got put on hold while I got ready for the GTG and testing David's truck. Then I started on Dad's engine. But, I do need to get Rusty in shape for the trip to get the '50 Chevy pickup, and in that work the AFR meter will go back on. So, I do need to get the signal cleaned up. Thanks for the reminder.
