Further tests need to be done to determine if it's a bad O2 sensor or in fact a bad cat.

Sorry, should have mentioned in my first post, my brother used to be a car tech at a dealership, he scanned it and it threw the cat code for the right cat, not the O2 sensor. I'd be much much happier if it were for the sensor since they're cheap.
From what i've been quoted from the local Austin dealership, they say approximately 2k-2100 for parts and labor, but we've got all the tools. 134k on the truck now and needs tires soon...would rather toss money into mods (you know how it is)
