This time I had a warning light that told me that there was something wrong with my truck. Put my OBD2 scanner on and it said that one of the o2 sensors was bad. Went on line, bought one off of eBay for $32 and installed it myself in about 20 minutes overall. It is not a hard part to replace, just have to have a tiny bit of experience with cars; of course, a hydraulic-jack, stands, c-wrench, a dolly and a little muscle will help.
Truck now has 150000 miles on it, sensors are fine. If anyone tries this at home, make sure you buy an o2 sensor that has the sensor, wires and electronic connector, it will make your job easier and cleaner. Also, make sure you put anti-seize gel on the threads(only) of the o2 sensor, this will make is easy to replace in the future.
