    are front and rear O2 sensors interchangeable?

    I have the rears removed, but the front right is causing minor problems from time to time (might just need some wot leaning combo), but if necessary, will the rears work in place of the fronts?

    thx

    is it because the connectors are different? or the numerous holes vs none or otherwise?

    also, any idea what the rears are worth?

    thx Ben

    Depends... What is the year, make, model and engine (with 8th digit of VIN).

    What kind of problems are you concerned with?

    forget the vin, but it's a 2015silverado 5.3L. I get a code sometimes.....passenger side sensor 1 slow in responding from rich to lean....it's ok tho, when mix isn't in the 10's and it gets run hard, the code goes away....lol kind of expected when running way to rich

    Relax with the VIN. I just wanted the 8th digit of it for engine code. With it being a 2015 I would tend to agree with Ben Charles. I was just going to plug it into our shops info system to be sure for ya.

    Enjoy
