I have a 2001 R/T and I wanted to know does it have a heated or non-heated oxygen sensor. Could someone please let me know

Heated.

Both upsteam and downstream sensors are 4-wire heated sensors.

good luck to replace it if needed. It was so hardest job I ever replace on any parts.

Liquid wrench. Box end wrench. Getting it out is not so hard. Getting the new one in is where it's a real B****. You'll turn and turn and it just won't grab. And when you finally do get some thread in there, you'll tighten it till you think you can't tighten it any further. And drive around about an hour before it starts leaking. Use anti-seize. Even with it it's a pain, but it's essential to getting it in all the way. Just don't get it on the tip of the sensor.

GO TO AUTOZONE AND BUY AN O2 SENSONER WRENCH(SOCKET), thats the best $10 I have ever spent.

sprayin' some rust killer, and you can rent socket from autozone, (i paid 15 dollars and got 15 dollars back when i return)

It took me a day and half to get this part off. (on off on off) It was bitchin' to put it in...(i left it not tighter, it was okay by auto zone tech)

careful when you try put it back in. I ripped its wires. I taped it back together
