I had the CEL come on and I reset it a couple of times. Borrowed a code reader from work and checked it and I had P0153 come up O2 Sensor Bank 2 position 1. So I did the research and found out driver's side upstream sensor.
I priced it out and it was going to be around $60 either locally or with shipping, but I hadn't ordered it yet.
Last night I decided to get under the truck and recon the job and just confirm how difficult it might be.
When I had a good look, I realised after 13 years on the road (in the salt-infested north) the O2 Sensor had managed to come loose! Put some high-temp thread lube on it, tightened it up, cleared the code and took it for a drive.
Still going this morning and no CEL!
So next time check carefully - before you order parts!
