O2 sensor help

[chajazz]

What could break or get clogged if i don't change the Bank 1 sensor 1 O2 sensor? The toyota dealer said that it would be fine if I wait all it will do is get worst gas mileage.

You may eventually clog and ruin your cat converter.

X2 on the catalytic conv. comment. Your truck goes into a default fuel control setting and over time will cause issues. I would get it fixed. Why wait?

Toyota extended their warranty on 02 sensors to 8 years or 80K miles so i would go back and get the Service Writer to get rid of his amnesia and fix your sensors if you are within those parameters!

The sensors are supposed to replaced as a set (both front sensors).

PLUS: If they don't come out, the manifolds are also covered under that warranty extension.

I let the dealership fix it, but I drove it arond 3 months before getting it fixed. my idle something got cloged and the dealership put tecron through it to clean it out.

they charge my Dad 135 to fix it. I was gone while it was happening.

guess it was past those time and mielage numbers and 135 is not bad for fix, if they replaced 02 sensors! i would call Corporate to get them to pay anyway!! kinda like the Ball Joints?? when will that issue go away?
