So for the 2nd time now an oxygen sensor literally blew off my exhaust.
Im not sure how they are supposed to be attached since my exhaust was replaced, but it seems as if they put them on there and maybe welded the stud so they wouldnt come off.
I already had one blow off last summer and was lucky enough to put some copper RTV on it, seal it off and put a nut with some washers on what was left of the threads. A week ago the downstream sensor blew off, I go to put it back on and where the actual sensor goes broke off-looked all brittle and rusty anyways. So 70 bucks from rock auto and that ones bolted on too.
Might wanna check your sensors guys, when it happens you have like 0 back pressure and it makes it fun to drive!

That is a CRAZY amount of steering flex under load . . . is that somewhat normal on GMCs?Originally Posted by paddlenbike

I'd be willing to bet it is for the high-torque diesel trucks.
Especially with how easy it's become to chip 'em to get more power.

Every year . . . this one looks achingly similar to another video of cars on an icy hill

The most expensive or painful lessons are the ones learned best. For example, if you're at the top of a hill and see a whole bunch of cars piled up and pointing in every direction, don't assume the drivers didn't know how to parallel park

I noticed the Tacoma was doing fine. The Chevy behind it though, not so much.
I noticed that too, the Taco looked like it had no issues, the guy in the Chevy looked right foot happy though and thats probably what happen, he had it in reverse gunning it to try to keep from sliding...
