The first Chevy C1500 rolled off the assembly line at the dawn of the Space Age, way back in 1962. However, oxygen sensors didn't come along until almost twenty years later. Back in the old days when gasoline was thirty cents a gallon, we didn't know any better.

Nobody thought too much about where that nasty stuff that came out of our tailpipes was going. Times changed, the Chevy C1500 changed right along with them.

With fuel economy and hydrocarbon emissions now in the news and on most people's minds, the Chevy C1500 Oxygen Sensor has become an important key fuel economy and emission control. The ideal fuel to air ratio, or "mixture," allows the engine to maximize power while minimizing exhaust emissions. The leaner the mixture, the lower the emissions. Some conditions - a heavy load, or cold weather - may require a richer mixture. A Chevy C1500 Oxygen Sensor measures the amount of oxygen in the exiting exhaust gases, and based on this data, sends an electronic signal to the fuel-injection system. The injectors then adjust the mixture for the current conditions. When an oxygen sensor is damaged or defective, engine performance can be reduced, fuel consumption may increase, and your vehicle may emit more polluting exhaust. If this sounds like your truck or Suburban, a new Chevy C1500 Oxygen Sensor may be the solution. We offer the most generous discount prices on a complete line of genuine Chevy C1500 parts.
