i also gave my wife the GT to drive it on the freeway. she thought she was rolling, when i told her to look at the speedo (she was doing 110mph). then she immediatettly got of the throttle...

Popped a P2096 today.
First thing I check is the 02 sensor mount on the cutback.
Sure enough, the extender is not sitting flush. It stripped out the threads

Guess I will buy a steel one and have it welded to the existing bung

Similar to this photo Mr elff?

elff · « **Reply #1203 on:** May 20, 2012, 04:07:56 PM »

Exactly

I think we need to talk to Solo and get them to change materials
And I take back all my joking on you for this topic!!

"clearly you must have crossthreadded it in!! there is no way It melted!!!"

Just sayin, they may not instantly fail, but eventually they do.

Almost 1 full year on mine.

I wonder if the threads are still ok on the exhaust. Might be

Anyone know the thread size our O2 sensors?
Are they 18mm?

Spark Plug defouler

18mm is correct IIRC

Goodluck on the fix. Joe did a fantastic job of welding a new bung in mine!

Cool I can order it from amazon.

Elff, about a week ago i had p2096 and my problem was that the hose of the vacuum line of the boost gauge was torn. It wouldnt hurt to check yiur vacuum lines

I know Miller's was definitely aluminum.

I took that pic of the extender. Thought it looked familiar.

elff · « **Reply #1211 on:** May 20, 2012, 05:34:21 PM »

Yes and it is the one that came with the Solo Cat.

I am going to call them tomorrow.

Arabas.
My 02 sensor on the exhaust is just hanging there. There is no mistaking this is the Source of the code. Miller could have taken that picture at my house. It is identical.

So miller what is your favorite drink? I owe you for being wrong and razzing you.

miller11386 · « **Reply #1212 on:** May 20, 2012, 06:01:05 PM »

we are good elff. Just glad to know you dont think im crazy about the galled threads on the extender.

Now if we could just see eye to eye on the PI injection methods, we would be good to go

When I ordered mine from Steve they sent me a Steel extenion.

1LILNDN · « **Reply #1214 on:** May 20, 2012, 08:37:34 PM »

elff ; Its a wonder Solo doesn't make an extended Bung with the right thread in it. then just weld it in place.

miller11386 · « **Reply #1215 on:** May 20, 2012, 08:39:52 PM »

bc most people that dont have to pass emissions dont use them.

I dont have an extender in mine, just the cat eff code disabled.

I'm ok with what you want to do. Never doubted that. I just think the other solution has no issues either. Lets leave that for the other thread.

What's the timing on sleeping bear? And are you going with an FP turbo?

When I get under the car to see if I can just screw in a new extender I will snap a picture.
