Message:
I have been going though o2's sensors like every 2,000 miles I have a 1998 3.9 4x4 190,000 miles
Gas mileage now is 13-15. I am thinking maybe a bad cat or something I changed both 02 sensors at thr same time took a road trip and about 70 miles after changing the o2 sensors i start blowing black smoke and all spark plugs are missfiring i had a code reader hooked up to it.
Thank god everything was astill covered got to all changed again no charge now i am getting bad gas mileage No codes. Gas mileage is between 13-15 use to be 15-19
