Tahoe 2WD V8-6.0L Hybrid (2008)
13. Remove the HO2S's (1 and 4).
Installation Procedure
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 burn 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 as exhaust component and if for any reason the sensor is to be reinstalled,
the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the reinstallation.
1. If replacing the catalytic converter assembly, perform the following steps, otherwise proceed to step 4.
2. If reinstalling the old sensors, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or equivalent.
Notice: Replacement components must be the correct part number for the application. Components requiring the use of the thread locking
compound, lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, or sealants are identified in the service procedure. Some replacement components may come with these
coatings already applied. Do not use these coatings on components unless specified. These coatings can affect the final torque, which may affect
the operation of the component. Use the correct torque specification when installing components in order to avoid damage.
