just thought i would post here also for those of you with a aem wideband gauge you do not need to buy a aem "branded" wideband sensor and get taking for more money than it is worth...
recently my aem sensor failed and after looking at the prices online i wasnt gonna drop that amount on a new sensor since mine failed within 9 months of having it new. so after looking at the old sensor i noticed it was a bosch sensor. n knowing how aem runs their business they pry just use a oem sensor bosch already makes and rebrands it as theirs and ups the price will screw that aem i found a way around that...
since i work at a local autoparts store i found a bosch sensor that will work for us without cutting and hacking apart the wires yes that is right its a direct plug in and go swap
anyways the part number for the sensor that will work is
bosch number - 17018 and for a walkin customer at oreilly autoparts it would be only 62 bucks alot cheaper than any aem replacement i found
(if this is in the wrong section please feel free to move this mods)
hopefully this will save some ppl money!
