See, I was told the opposite. Top two are for air/fuel and bottom two are for emissions... just like most other cars driving around the U.S. Only problem is, none of the parts stores carry the downstream fronts, and I have to do 2 at a time due to monetary issues. So with that being said, I'm gonna do the upstreams for now.

It's on the left side. It's seized in there, and not very cooperative. Thanks for responding.

That's the description for OBD-II in general, however different manufacturers can interpret things differently. Chrysler used all O2s for setting fuel mix in our PCMs as well as monitoring catalyst efficiency. You can find this in the FSM on page 31 of the Fuel System section (14).

But if only two are out, and the upstreams are the ones to go, then I'm just gonna do them then go from there. Eventually, all 4 will get done

I see it, try getting a flat tip screwdriver and hit it out or just break it apart.

Thanks. I've done the Pb blaster thing until my garage is hard to breathe in lol. Right now I'm heading to pick up another drive shaft from a craigslist part out. Wish me luck.

Sure. I'd check the wiring and fuses first though if you've actually gotten codes. It would suck to fry brand new O2s because the wires had melted together.
