I am thinking dump O2 sensors and add some headers. No inspections here

Pretty sure OBX makes them for 6.2 also.

If it's lean it's not running ok, there's an issue somewhere. You mean losing the rear sensors? Losing the upstream sensors isn't really possible.

I got the how much is that

 

No worries it will sound better :)

There is no performance change whatsoever

 

Idle is fine, acceleration fine once I get home I will start looking into it

 

Maybe a bad MAF sensor?

I still need to get my o2 sensors tuned out and clean my throttle body because of headers

CRC makes a cleaner for that. Used it on a half dozen cars with no ill effects.

Yea I have a can

 

Engine light went off prior to going home drove 3 hrs no light. We will see

Ryan dumping the O2s won't help. You have a total of 4- the rearmost pair monitors cat efficiency. Headers and a tune can delete those. This was detected by the pre-cat sensors and is likely a legit issue.

 

I doubt it's a fueling issue.

 

 

Could be a dirty or malfunctioning MAF, especially if you have a K&N filter.

 

Could be a loose PCV hose. You added a catch can right? Check those fittings. I think a loose intake tube connection can do this too. Basically any intake leak past the MAF will do this.

 

O2 sensors could be bad but a dual failure seems unlikely.

That's an easy fix.

Bulb's burned out.

A few years ago through North Dakota bugs were so bad at dusk made the truck look like it was growing hair up front.

Mosquitos, small black flies. It's why birds migrate back north, to get their fill.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
