Oxygen Sensor R/R update
Since I've changed all three O2 sensors (installed Bosch) on my X I've noticed at least a 1.5 to 2 mpg increase (combined city and highway using my ScanGaugeII). I also cleaned the MAF sensor.
The two sensors off each manifold were easy to "break"... the one after the CAT was a SOB

Do you think they perform the same? Oh yeah, what O2 sensor did you use as there seems to be 4 different types of sensors available from Bosch?

I read in either the V-10 or SD forum that Bosch manufactures Motorcraft O2 sensors... I think I read it there. 
.. Information overload... know how that is???
Anyhow, other posts I read during an extensive search prior to my purchase of Bosch, seem to be mostly positive about their product.

Part # 15716 for after the CAT (6 inch lead wires) (1)
Part # 15717 for before the CAT (12 inch lead wires) (2)
On 2005 the catalog lists 15716 for the all (actually is says 4 needed) but you'll need a longer pigtail for the front ones. (2004 numbers).
The actual O2 sensors are the same with both #'s... the 4 wire's length are the difference in the #'s.
