Installation Procedure

2006 Isuzu Ascender S, 5.3 M, 4WDSECTION Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Isuzu Ascender, 2008 GMC Envoy, and 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burns away, but the glass beads remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before reinstallation.
