Well I finally got around to changing the bank 2 downstream sensor, now I have no pesky lights on the dash!

Just got this in the mail today to change out O2 sensors on the V-8. Don't need it today but thought I would share if anyone is looking at doing this mini-project. Its made by Tekton and I got it off eBay for $6.95 plus $4 shipping.

Yeah, again I am coming from a Harley point of view that does in fact offer fine tuning. I know I am talking apples and oranges but what I was able to to with my HD motor I was thinking perhaps this technology is around for our trucks. I do have the V-8. After 13 years of running strong, my...

It's been off for about a week now, no check engine or VSC lights. When I did crawl under there I shuddered at all the rust, I do have a magnaflow cat back system so that section is in good shape. Forward of that is pretty rusted up as that section forward is OEM with now 228k on it. Guess that...

04 v8 228K and running strong. It's at a point and time where things are wearing out. I'm the original owner and just replaced the transmission tubing and flexible tubing for example, sh*t just has to be replaced. Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk

I have a Vance & Hines FP3 for my Harley, it plugs into the data port and has more capability than I can ever use. It blu tooths to my phone and I can do tunes to the ECM and and either auto tune the motor or do manual tuning to the ECM and flash the ECM. Is there a product that you know of or...

Will do so when warmer weather approaches. Thank you all for your help.

OK...going to start with the 02 sensors as they are pretty inexpensive (at least on RockAuto- $40 each). So am reading this correctly that this is on the passenger side (bank 2) or is bank 2 driver side? I will replace the down stream first and then if that works-great. If not...will go with...

Look what Santa brought me! How many of you V8 owners have looked under your front skid plate and seen the massive amount of rust on your original lines? I got this plus all the tubing to replace but need to do on a much warmer day.

227K on the original CATS, I did go out and disconnect the battery for an hour last night, ran the truck for about 1 hour on an errand this morning and it did not come back. Keeping fingers crossed it does not come back. The good news is that I have 1 full year until I have to go to the...

Is bank 2 driver or passenger and does this reading mean upper or lower sensor, assuming lower? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

If you are going to change your own oil like I do, I would recommend that you do an Amsoil Trans/Oil flush prior to draining. You dump the product in the old oil, run it for 10/15 minutes and it breaks down all the old crap that has built up over the years, let drain all the way out, button it...

Will be replacing my forever rusted tubing on the lower front side, seems pretty straight forward (replacing all the flexible tubing as well. Any gottchas that anyone has run into while doing this? Thanks.

Anyone know of a parts place that you typically frequent that offers a Military-Veteran discount on top of their already discounted pricing that you would recommend?

Well after 8 months of waiting....I got a call from the dealer that my dashed has arrived. Going in Monday for the install, they were surprised I still had the truck after 225K miles! Pics to follow....
