I would do both. IIRC they are identical, with the possible exception of the length of the wiring.
 
10-4, thanks again RockDoc
 
I have a question on the Denso O2 sensors. Pretty much all O2 sensors are made by Bosch. With many of them being rebadged under different names. I'm not sure what Denso does on their end but it might be good to see one at Autozone or Napa and see if it says Bosch on the side. It might save you some money being it is the same part. Like I said though I dont know what Denso does. I do know when I worked as a parts manager I would see this all the time. Another example would be that many of the Iridium spark plugs on the market might say Motorcraft or AC/Delco but they are actually rebadged NGK or Denso plugs.

I just wanted to see if I could save you some cash.... not sure if it makes much of a difference.
 
Maybe have a look at another site (sparkplug.com comes to mind) and see what comes up in there system. I couldn't tell you what the differences are with the ones at autopartswarehouse. I suspect the top one lacks to connector for a direct replacement (so you have to splice wires) while the other 2 are direct replacement. But there are definitely 2 on the truck.

Universal = no connector
Direct fit = proper connector
 
That is correct. The universal sensor is the same specs as the direct fit... but you use your own plug... easy to do.. saves money.
I think there are only two sensors. One on each exhaust bank before the cats.

Go to oxygensensors.com. You will need two sensors, a precat (cyl 1,2,3) and postcat (cyl (4,5,6) IIRC. Two different part #'s. They have the denso oem units and they are plug and play, easy install as long as the old one come out easy. Found at a much better cost here...STICK W/ THE DENSO, NOT UNIV...

Those 2 Denso's are actually the same part number and they are identical units. Same thing I ordered from the other web site only a bit cheaper through your link. I overpaid a wee bit...I wish I'd have seen your link first!
 
Let us know if you notice a difference after changing them. I've thought about doing them in my truck, but I seem to be getting really good milage by comparison with most so the old ones can't be too bad yet...
 
I put these in last year......they work fine. Even the cheaper one would have been fine also..........the cheaper on runs 70 bucks and this one i list runs just shy of 100 bucks. Only real difference is the cheaper one requires you to do the plug wiring yourself.

While we find your parts, please enter your ZIP Code at PartsAmerica.com

Both 02's are the same but like doc said one has a longer wiring than the other.
