Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

[Rocket Man]

Think I'm gonna go get some MAP gas and that 22mm wrench from HF. Only thing tho--since that nut started to round, the 22 might not be snug enough and slip. Any suggestions about that?

Unplug it if you don’t wanna cut the wire off, and put the box end of the wrench on it. That way you just put the wire through the wrench. Or use a pipe wrench, might get better leverage that way anyway.

Not knowing whether you are tackling up upstream or downstream, and not wanting to view anymore thong eye-candy (!?), you have removed the exhaust to get the best angle at removing that little SOB, haven't you ?

Six point deep impact socket and cut the wire off.

He's got a whole set of O2 sensor sockets should shouldn't need to go that around. Just needs to man up and show that sensor who wears the pants in this relationship.

@Tonyrodz , remember righty-tighty, lefty-loosy

Not sure but this could be the one in the same snowblower guy or maybe a Sam look alike. But I don’t think he wouldn’t mess around with a single stage blower. He is truly a wordsmith.

Lol. Awesome. Great advice for a hookajooked bolt! [emoji23][emoji1787]

Gonna try my hand on some grounds.

I need to order that MAP gas, not in stock.

Grounds for what...? That’s a hellova ground wire for an O2 sensor... as I said above, MAPP is no longer stocked in your regular HW stores. It sucks.

Yeah, wasn’t that a week ago? Seems if somebody wanted this thing fixed, that would have been ordered and delivered by now. This repair is taking longer that it took to build the truck in the first place!

Step 1 - get wrench
Step 2 - start truck, let it come to temp (on jack stand)
Step 3 - hose that mfr down with penetrant
Step 4 - commit. Cut plug off o2
Step 5 - put wrench on, hit wrench with bfh
Step 6 - profit

Are you crimping or soldering the terminals on?

I suggest getting some marine grade heat shrink (it will have glue inside the heat shrink) and putting over the ends where the terminal meets the cable.

Especially since you are up north.

I have no idea how I'm gonna do it yet. I was at Tractor Supply, so I figured--Why not.
I grabbed a few more things to try to get the job done---

Vice grips, pipe wrench, 3/8" breaker bar, metric and sae wrenches and some fancy swivel head 3/8 ratchet. **** THIS O2 SENSOR!! I'm gonna try it without the heat--maybe. If not, I'll have to make a special run to HD.
I got that welding wire to do the big 3 upgrade. 6' of wire at 6.99 a foot.

I just want to know one thing--

You know you actually have to put one of those tools ON the O2 sensor in order to remove it, right? And quit messin, Tony- we know that’s you on the beach.

For the love of @PG01 ! I’ve never seen someone buy so many random things just for an O2 sensor job

No, not just for the O2--I'm like a kid in a candy store. I can never have enough tools. When I do work, I work out of my van, so I can never have enough tools. This just gave me an excuse to buy more shit.

I'm more hairy then that guy!

Heat the goddamn thing before you try to break it loose. Serious. Just starting the truck to temp will make a huge difference
