I have run both Walker and Bosch Generic O2 Sensors for years on various
vehicles I've owned without any problems to speak of.  I currently run Bosch
Generics on both my Vanagons.  While GoWesty has some fairly informative
articles, I don't happen to agree with their opinion on this because of my
experience with my generic sensors.
