Mine did.

Job done, problem solved

BUT, Holy Frustration Batman!

My right arm is torn up from squeezing it up in between the frame and the exhaust, and the exhaust and the engine, maybe I need to stop working out?

It seems the designers didn't think anyone would ever have to change this sensor ever without having to pull the truck apart and if it came down to it, and the price wasn't outrageous. I would probably pay to have this done.

...and yes, you were correct. Upon closer inspection, "Bosch" was stamped right on the sensor.

Just another tip for future readers : Be careful when un-doing the nuts from the studs that hold the sensor end in place. I had to contort myself to fit my arm up between the engine and the exhaust, which eliminated any chance of being able to see what I was doing and I ended up bending one of the studs which added extra suspense/time/and frustration having to bend the stud back straight enough to get the new sensor pinned back down.

Thanks for the help, I was very conscious of this thanks to you and a few of the other threads I read where people had bolted things back up improperly.

Per your follow up request , I bolted it back up just as it was pulled apart. I'm not sure how people have done this incorrectly as I can't see it fitting together properly if bolted up wrong.
