Popped a p0058 code this afternoon. Looks like it is the rear sensor for bank 2. Before I go ordering one anyone know which brands work well on these trucks? I've read where some brands don't work well on our trucks but can't remember which ones are good and which to avoid.
Which Brand O2?

Bosche are the best ones and what 90% of the factories use. Now here is something to think upon before you replace the sensor: is this the first time it has come up?? Do you use gas with an ethanol blend? Did you put an aggressive tune on your truck??
If it is the first time it has popped up it will just be a faulty sensor and can simply be replaced. Make sure to get one with the connector on it and not the cheaper one with no connector. Splicing the wires can be heck and is not really recommended.
Using Ethanol blended gas ahs been known to throw false codes. The dealership I frequent has told me to use an ethanol conditioner in the gas. The manager recommended the Lucas Ethanol treatment. I have not thrown a code in 7 years since I started using the lucas.
Sometimes an aggressive tune can cause the sensors to go bad. My daughters truck is set to use the Diablo 87 octane tune. Since I tuned her truck no codes have been thrown. Her truck has the 4.7l in it.

I've heard the same about Bosch, nothing but problems. I just (two months ago) replaced one of my post cats sensors with a Denso and it's been great so far and it was only $28 including shipping from EBAY.

Denso is a great brand, and quality products from my experience anyway!

Most of the problems with any of the 02 sensors is the ethanol in our gas. I have been running Bosche 02 sensors in my truck, my daughters truck, and the wifes truck for years with no failures or codes at all. I also run the Lucas ethanol treatment in all of them religiously.
