O2 sensor compatibility question

[dubcitySHO]

I've been having an issue with seeing some KR values and timing being pulled as a result in my tried and true AJP tune.  I was looking over a datalog and noticed my LTFT was hovering around 18% in closed loop operation, and then I finally got a CEL for bank 1 sensor 2 reporting a lean condition.  I checked the voltage of the sensor, and it's not moving and only reporting 0.5 volts so I need to replace the sensor. 

My question is, are both post cat o2 sensors the same part number or does each bank use a specific sensor?  No sense replacing one while ignoring the other.

Thanks Shodded! 

I'm confused.  :blink:

I know the upstream are the wideband, which are vastly different from the downstream sensors, but those you posted are all the same BA5Z-9G444-A part number for both lower right and left.

I checked rockauto, but saw they didn't have Motorcraft sensors and I didn't know if Bosch or Denso made a similar quality sensor.  I was looking on tasca parts by VIN for them and it appears from their catalog they are the same but you know what they say about stuff on the internet.....

The rear downstream 02 sensors have the same part numbers.  Z

Here are the front primary 02 sensors changed @ 50K!

Sorry about the confusion, did not check part numbers closely   but Z has you covered

And def stick with Motorcraft.

I would stick with Motorcraft. The Bosch and NTK are great and one of those may even be used for the motorcraft application. But the voltage scale is calibrated for a certain Lambda value so if you use a different sensor you could slightly alter air fuel ratios.

Ordered!  Thanks gentlemen.

Ordered!  Thanks gentlemen.

Cool Bean's.  Glad you're replacing them in (sets) and not individually.
BTW -  I wouldn't be surprised if there shipped out already.  Z

Bosch is listed as the actual OE part for mine and offers a lifetime warranty vs motorcraft 24 mos for about $10.00 more apiece.

Bosch is my go to brand for sensors tbh. They have amazing quality control, we use them at work on all of our engines and I have only seen 1 'failed' sensor in 2 years of heavy load engine testing with various fuels.
