bugsy,
Sorry about that, Todd is a jerk and he don't want to help anyone out. He is really just a waste of good space on this planet.

I read that you got the codes from your truck and it said something about your O2 sensors? I was already thinking it sounded like that kind of issue anyway and that kinda backed it up. If they ask you front or rear do the front one. It's an easy part to replace and not real expensive. The main symptom is that the truck wont accelerate very well at part throttle but if you stomp it to the floor it will do fine. I kinda got that idea from what you were saying. The O2 sensor is responsible for keeping your air fuel ratio correct when in whats called "closed loop" operation, then when you get into the gas the computer ignores the O2 sensor and tunes from the MAP sensor primarily. Hope this helps, good luck.

You really dont need to do the rear one, that one has nothing to do with how the truck runs, it is only for emissions testing. The main thing, like I said is that it wont run right at part throttle but when you floor it, it runs fine.

Take care,
