o2 question
I have a check engine light for a bad o2 sensor. It says sensor 1 bank 2, which sensor is this?
Also I thought I seen that everything but bosch sensors go bad fast? Is this true?

Bank 2 is downstream. And if ones bad, the others right behind. Don't skimp on quality, either. I spent over 100/ea. on mine... I was recently informed I paid too much by another CF user, but they are warrantied and made of quality materials. So I figure I'd payed as much as I needed to get the right part.

I'd be willin to bet it's the o2s.. All the symptoms are there. I would agree that Bosch is generally a reputable company, but I know I've heard debate on things like the Bosch spark plugs for jeep.. Might not be for o2's though.. Do a thread search and if that's a bust, start a new thread about it... Idk...

Did some quick research and am reading exactly what you said. Thanks for the help. I think I'm gonna go with ntk/ngk , which is who makes the oem.

This is wrong. If you have a v8, it will be the bank that has cyl 5678, upstream sensor. If it was the down stream o2 it would say sensor 2, bank 2. Up stream o2 are what monitor the air fuel ratio of the jeep, I would replace both, the down stream ones are behind the cat, and just read if the cat is working.

If you plan on keeping the vehicle, I usually recommend replacing both of the sensors. They have a finite lifespan of between 100k and 150k, depending on the efficiency of the engine.
My first choice for oxygen sensors is NTK, the oem supplier of oxygen sensors to Jeep. I personally haven't had any trouble with Bosch, but the resistance values in their heater circuit are a little different than the NTK.

The upstream O2 is the one that sends info to the PCM for setting fuel trim. The downstream O2 monitors cat efficiency.
