LT install, broken o2 sensor
When I was taking out one of the precat o2 sensors it was like it was welded in, threads were melted when i finally got it out. Question is can I use one of the o2 sensors from the back ones by just switching the connectors, or due I have to buy a new sensor.

Could try re-threading the O2 sensor if you have a big enough tap and die set?

If the threads aren't to messed up you can try a thread file I had to on both my front o2 sensors.can't remember the thread pitch right now. It would be hard to find a die that big.

threads are melted together pretty bad, just bought a new one, sucks. but the rest of the install was a piece of cake, not like my two 4th gens i've installed headers on in the past

'Had the same problem w/ my install. The worst part was NOBODY had any O2 sensors in stock! I had to order one and wait a whole weekend to get it while driving around in limp mode in the meantime (talk about nerve-racking!).
