I would pull the one that is closest to the headers. When you get a chance call Ripp and see what they say. He might have a fix for the problem. The o2 sensors are kinda pricey hate to say.

at least it's not white. Honestly you really can't tell buy eye if there bad or not. Mainly wanted you to pull one to see if was running lean. Buy the look of that one. It should be a little blacker in color. I've pulled some that were bad and they were chaulkie white. Mainly because of the meth injection. It doesn't look bad to me. But it's hard to say for sure. I would hate for you to go out a buy new ones if that's not the problem. Call ripp and see what they say. To be safe...

have you tried reseting the ecu. Pull the positve off the battery then turn on the headlights for about 30min. Turning on the headlights drains all the power out of the compasators so it will not hold a charge anywhere. Might be worth trying. Other then that I don't know what else to try.
btw I checked out ur gallery and your jeep looks pretty bad azz.

Default bigger Tires

I just finished installing 40" tires on my rig and on the first hill that required a little right foot the engine seemed to misfire? I have had this couple of times when there was a lot of weight in my rig. I have the gen 2 no tubes & I do get the light bolts maybe once a day.?????????????????? Any ideas?
