[bklynsoulja]

im planning to get replacement on those because i have crappy mpg (8 mpg) and i was looking...does brands really matter for the o2 sensors, egr valve, and pcv valve? i got a 89 cadillac deville are all those ac delco brand oem for me? would anybody know? basically should i use brands like bosh or bwd for 02 sensors, egr valve, and pcv valve? o yeah one last question, what do you guys got for tires cause i am searching for a new set on my car and i was thinking of goodyear integrity but i heard it bad i want gooood treadlife any tips? thanks alot guys and happy new years

Brand shouldn't matter, but AC Delco is recommended.

For tires I have Continetal ContiProContact's. They have a 80,000 mile tread life warranty but they are most certainly not all-seasons. They handle very well and are good performance oriented tires , but only for snow and ice free conditions. Which is part of the reason my car never leaves the driveway during winter.

For a solid All-Season I recommend Dunlop SP-60's. They provide very good traction, even in snow and ice, but have good tread life and ride comfort. Their tread life warranty is 65,000 miles.

Use A/C Delco for the O2 sensors. DON'T use Bosch. I don't think it matters as much for the EGR. PCV doesn't matter at all.

I had GY Intergrity's on my '02 SLS. THEY SUCKED! Replaced them at 22K and should have 10K sooner. Went with GY Comfort Treads and was very happy.

is there 2 sensors for my car?

[Ranger]

Might only be one, but not sure.

wow i just researched the Dunlop SP-60's and they look great thanks for the advice i am prob gonna get these

PVC doesn't matter. O2 sensor should only be replaced by a GM or AC-Delco piece. I replaced my EGR valve with a GM piece because they are exactly calibrated to the engine, where other brands may not be.

gm piece? i never seen a gm piece lol

i went to a tire shop today and he was like what about dunlop sp 50...is there a big diff on dunlop sp 50 and dunlop sp 60? the guy also recommended me some bridgestones and another sumthin with fire (not firestone) any advice?

[Rodya234]

From what I've read people don't like SP-50's. (I've never used them)

If your local place doesn't have SP-60's you can order them from here: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....tnum=07SR5SP60

and they'll mail them to your house. You'll have to get them mounted somewhere though, I use Wal-mart.

thanks for the info i am gonna choose sp 60 i hope the tire noise isnt that loud lol

Have you had a bad experience with bosch ranger?? I havent used o2 sensors from them but I have been satisfied with other bosch products...

I ask because I was going to use bosch sensors after my HG job but with you saying not to Im inclined to go with a different product....

Hi Ranger,

I put bosch o2 sensors in my 95 deville should I replace them with ac delco now or only if I something is not running right. My car stalls when its cold outside untill the car warms up completly could this be the couse
