how many miles on the truck ?are you useing antifreeze (leaking head gasket )? that can kill a O2 Quick ,try getting a can of Seafoam and put it in the gas tank with a fillup and see if you can clean it . if that won't work and you want to fix it right replace both front O2 sensors ,if one is bad the othe is not far behind . use Bosch $50.00 each .

Bank one is the drivers side. The oxy sensor your looking for is the one before the catylytic converter, closest to the engine. Ron

How hard is it to replace? I think I have one out on my Suburban Z71. I was quoted $800.

Thats rediculous. Its a $50-75 part, takes 10 mins to change, using a 1" wrench....
