If you are wondering how important an O2 sensor is???

[wibornz]

So on my way from Michigan to Kentucky for a weekend of wheeling. About 30 miles from my house, the JLUR will not shift out of 5th gear, is bogging down and getting 8 miles to the gallon and check engine lights were on and flashing. I call the dealer and turn around. Drop the JLUR off at the dealer. It was misfiring on all odd cylinders.

Just picked it up and all is well. It was just a O2 sensor.

Damn, all that for an O2 sensor? That sucks. Glad it was simple.

Ted, I’m sorry your weekend of wheeling was ruined, but I’m glad you found out relatively close to home, and glad it was quick and easy to fix.

I'm glad to hear it was a quick fix.

I second this. Much better to have the issue close to home than in the middle of a road trip.

Good to know and thank you for sharing!

I believe 02 sensors are covered under 8 yr/ 80,000 mile federal emissions warranty, good for peace of mind "down the road"

I still went to Kentucky and wheeled as a passenger in this.

We just ended up taking the car and catching up with my bud and his girl. We went to the Blue Holler Offroad Park. It rained and the trails were slick. Not a lot of pictures as it was impossible to get in and out without getting covered in mud. We also did the Lights under Louisville and toured the Makers Mark, Jim Beam and Angels Envy Distilleries. So we still had a great weekend dispite being jeepless and all the rain.

Glad you were still able to have a good time. On the positive side, you avoided having to spend hours cleaning mud from your jeep!

True story. It was like wheeling on bacon grease. If you did not make it up an incline, you slid uncontrollably back to the bottom.

Was thus more of an OoooooooH! 2 sensor instead of an O2

Man I'm glad that was an easy fix.

I often like the look of Jeeps with mud better than clean ones.
