97 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9l upstream oxygen sensor replacement

[@tracyhurst4393]

I know it's six years old, but thank you for this video. I knew that plug was under there in the mess of wires somewhere, but it was cold and getting dark and I was tired. Now I can start fresh, pull that boot off, and get to the plug. The time you spent on this video is much appreciated.

[@12luv365]

the best part was finding the access through the 4x4 selector boot thanks for the info this will definitely help in my o2 sensor change thank you sir.

[@switchfeetnow2]

The tip at the end of the video about the shift knob was huge! I am absolutely dreading getting under my truck to replace both O2 sensors, mainly because of the mystery location of that front plug...this is a game changer!

[@MegaRushfreak]

Thank you for the video, I used a torch to heat it up cherry red and I was able to remove the sensor. The best tip was inside the cab getting the wire disconnected.

[@SVMSICE]

OMG OMG OMG you get the award for best upstream o2 sensor video!!! I'm so glad I watched till the end so I could see the part about going in through the transfer case shifter. I been scratching my head trying to figure out how to get that connector apart. Your the only video out of the 4 I watched who showed that trick. You saved me a lot of headache and neck ache pain, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

[@SVMSICE]

Ohhhh just an FYI, they fixed that pesky problem of being able to go in through the shifter to get that electrical plug in a 2001. Can't access it anymore. CRAP CRAP CRAP

[@larrybadger3482]

Haven't done this project yet but the tip about going through the top for the connector is absolute gold. If I do decide to do this myself, consider this a huge "thank you" in advance.

[@john-cx7nt]

Thanks for the tip. Saved me a lot of headache.

[@IPwnYouPay]

Thank you. The lift up tab bit is crucial. On my '96 5.9, I can't see the connector at all, its on top of the transmission completely. I had to do it blind.

[@AlphaKilo6]

So glad I watched, just started spraying my sensor to get ready to pull it and saw what a pain in the as getting to the connection is. 100% going in from the top now, and a good reason to clean the shifter cover off! Thanks

[@louisroman7134]

fine job, thank you for taking the time to share this.

[@adriananoelle4699]

I cut the wires, used a breaker bar, and a deep well socket.

[@chadforderer4819]

Awesome video….anyone watching watch to the end…. Very helpful thank you

[@teresal2282]

Thank you soooo much. I was dreading get under my truck again. That was the best tip I have learned all year. Dont be Imbarrassed that was great. Thanks again

[@kdcustoms1272]

Thanks for the video... Nothing can ever just be simple. Lol.

[@andyvaldez7714]

How was your truck acting with the bad sensors?

[@iloveacuraintegras8216]

I got a 2001 dodge ram 1500 5.9L v8 helps out a lot thanks

[@bigludod3089]

Yeah I guess it has to be a difficult one to replace not like some of the simple ones that KZbin has videos on, where it's all out in the open, so oh yeah you gotta love Dodge and Dodge engineers

[@danielsmithers6899]

Best video I found yet

[@confusedworld9271]

I can’t find the plug at the why they keep giving me a sensor that’s too big to fit in the hole and I seen u said u had the wrong one too witch one is that sensor at the y

[@DivineKnight1245]

You can buy a set of O2 sensors sockets for about $27.00; There are two short ones in the case, You would want the short one with the shortest end for the 3/8" socket. I just done this on a friends truck with absolutely no problems at all.

[@SolidSnake4Ever2003]

nice vid I've been meaning to replace my front o2 sensor on my 95 5.2 dodge ram to hopefully increase the mpg a little from what I'm getting currently...also meaning to do a new map sensor, heard that can really increase power and mpg since over all these years the diaphragm inside hardens from the combustion vapors and doesn't read the right voltage

[@inlovehusband]

Going through the same with my 97 5.9l thanks!

[@DP-to9mq]

Would start and run fine for about 10-15 min. When it warmed up would run like crap. Missed sputter and stall. Front O2 sensor fixed issue. It gave a code too. P0132 if I remember right

[@glenmartin2437]

Thank you. That will help.

[@fabianbarrientosmena6617]

Time I have a Dodge Ram 98 5.9 I think through the mechanic but they put the wrong sensores I don't know which one is bank 1 and bank 2 can you tell me what what you want is the bank one I've been to the one in the Cadillac convertible is up in one or the bank to

[@alexv3866]

What brand on that new sensor and how is your truck running now?

[@DP-to9mq]

Alex V Denso from O Reillys. Runs great.

[@alexv3866]

D P thank you

[@abelcerrillo2162]

I ordered a oxygen sensor from A1autoparts for my dodge ram and on receiving my package i open it up and it said Made In China i was like what the F. I installed it anyways and China part didnt fix my problem. So now i have to reorder a Made in the USA oxygen sensor for $ 111. 00 bucks.

[@dannykaren93]

Can you give brand, part number, store location please

[@AhPhoey]

How many O2 sensors are on the 94 - 2000 Dodge Ram 5.9?? In the parts catalogs, they should 2 upstream and 1 downstream, so a total of 3.

[@DP-to9mq]

Only 2 (at least on the 5.9. One on each side of the cat)

[@claxtonjohnson3539]

Yeah I couldn't see shit. Lol. But ty anyway
