A friend of mine has a 2014 Silverado 1500 (Z71 package with 2WD) but I'm getting oxygen sensor codes all over and crank position sensor and and on and on.
If anyone can take a look at this scan and clue me in, I would appreciate it.

Wow! Did those all show up just now? I would say that it's probably something else other than sensor failure as that's an awful lot of faults. If it were me, I would think shorted wiring somewhere or the old standby of ground problems. There is one ground I remember seeing on a YouTube video that attached from the engine to the driver's side of firewall and looks like a ground strap. In the video, it had gotten corroded so much, it was basically disintegrating. Maybe take a look for that one and see what you find. 

 

I'm really not good with electrical troubleshooting but can usually muddle my way through it.

My 13 Sierra pulled some 💩 like that there was a couple wires that pulled out of the bulkhead in the firewall.

i would not trust that autel scanner, my autel 808 gives me codes that for option not even on the truck. and always gives me codes for the radio and heater. when i use gds2 , it will test fine. this is on my 2020. with this many codes the truck would run like crap or not at all. i would start by removing every ground , cleaning and reinstalling. the 5 volt ref code is important, as most of the sensors use that 5 volts

The Autel scanner has been great for me on my 2017.
It's kept me from from more than a few trips to the dealer.
YMMV

Are those all active codes, or ones that could be present (just a list)?

It's a mix, I guess, but I cleared all codes and these kept coming back.
He just had his catalytic converters changed out and I'm thinking the shop failed to reconnect all of the harnesses.

    • I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.  
    • The so called rare failure that some certainly liked to tout ( die hard Ford fan boys ) as per the lifter failing and wiping out the cam. Back when it started happening the blame was being pointed to the lifters and honestly I never did hear anything myself conclusively one way or the other on that. Ford themselves in I believe 2024 had a technical bulletin I will call it that came out and for some engine platforms they were reprograming the engines idle speed but also they had a software update for the oil pump which then some time later was said what that software update did as to be increasing the oil pressure at idle. It is a good question if that issue was completely solved as one Ford specialist mechanic youtuber said he saw failures after that time period. Like anything there would be the variables, what oil is being used and the OCI and how much idle time gets put on an engine. I've seen some comments to claim that the L8T isn't so happy with high idle time either but I also know that companies that require their vehicle to idle a lot on the job don't tend to get the oil changed often enough for all those hours of idle time and go off of the odometer. 
    • My 2026 Silv. 1500 WT (reg cab/short bed/4wd) has the 40/20/40 with storage in lower middle seat as well as the fold-down center bolster/armrest.   With the dual glove boxes this is about as much storage as possible in a std cab IMHO. Bill
    • I have a 2026 base 1500 "WT" regular cab with basic Chevy "Infotainment 3" 7-inch screen/radio. How many speakers do I have If I want to upgrade? Is the audio amp separate from the radio/display unit]? [I listen to classical and it gets a bit raspy at slightly higher volumes. Don't need a sub etc.] Do I have two or 1 speakers in the doors? etc. Thanks Bill  San Jose
    • probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...
