    Wideband vs A/F Gauge

    What the difference between the two I found a good deal on what the guy is calling a A/F ratio gauge.

    well a guage could be just that a guage, a wide band could be sending module with sensor and no gauge.

    not sure if thats what your looking for.

    The wideband is the sensor that looks just like one of the O2 sensors. The A/F gauge is what the wideband plugs into to give you your A/F readings.

    About $150 or more for the sensor.

    He also may be trying to sell you a guague that reads the stock narrow band output. These are virtually useless imo b/c they look like a christmas tree blinking in your truck and can get a bit annoying. A WBO2 Kit is what you want, this will include the WB02 sensor (generally a VW sensor) weld in exhaust bung, Wideband controller and your choice of guage.
    Hope this helps.
