Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but your post gave me a headache so I didn't read it...I know you got tails for sale, but that belongs in the classifieds. Good luck with whatever it is you're doing, though!

I'm confident that if you replace the offending O2 sensor with a new, factory unit, your CEL light trouble will be over. They aren't that expensive.... Make sure you replace the correct one, based on the trouble code(s)...

Its the drivers side, but the issue that the tech told me was, since ill have to hack n extend it either way, its going to change the voltage! Still havent gotten around to even trying to just remove n clean the sensor! But any suggestion is welcomed! I appreciate the feedback bmac!

Use soldered connections to extend the wires and then heatshrink the extended portion and you'll be fine... an extra 6-8", even more, won't result in a measurable voltage drop, assuming the connections are properly made... You will prove that tech FOS if you do it right.... if he was a good tech, he'd know that....
