It looks  like I need a new O2 sensor.  Was wondering what people think  on
brands, given the really major differences in price between Bosch  and
others.

Joy, use only a BOSCH OXY sensor. All others are  known to cause problems.
You can get the BOSCH one with the wrong plug and  short wire but the exact
same sensor for way less than the designated Vanagon  one.  Been using them for
years here by splicing the old plug and wire  from the old OEM sensor to the
new one.  From my _Vanagon Items Forsale_
(http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm)  > OXY  sensor, 2.1 engine, BOSCH, 13913 -$85.00 CND.  That part number is
the  BOSCH number so you should be able to find it locally using that number.
    BTW, Barb arrived here yesterday and was telling  Rita and I about your
tractor driving skills !  Doing the aux battery  install on her van today.
