Sierra 3500 Denali 4WD V8-6.0L (2011)
Caution: Refer to Excessive Force and Oxygen Sensor Caution (See: Service Precautions/Excessive Force and Oxygen Sensor Caution).
4. Remove the HO2S (5).
Installation Procedure
Note: 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 an 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 reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or equivalent.
Caution: Refer to Component Fastener Tightening Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Component Fastener
Tightening Caution).
2. Install the HO2S (5).
