So.. I got the sensor all changed out now. I haven't noticed any difference really, but haven't driven too far. I've got to drive a bit tomorrow so I guess I'll see then. But Thanks a ton for your help stp. I really appreciate it.

Ok thanks, I appreciate that. I haven't received the part yet.

I drove my truck about 75 km this morning and I'm definitely noticing a little bit more throttle response. Not huge, but slightly noticeable. Changing the sensor also seemed to eliminate a shudder It had when coming to a stop at stop lights. I'm contemplating changing the bank 2 sensor as well just to see if that does anything....

no problem guys,ive been through the same problem and was getting pretty frustrated and people here helped me out , bye the way check all vacuum lines for cracks, these engines dont like losing vacuum and well do weird things, my truck was running 10 % lean on bank 2 and wasnt throwing any codes, my programmer is what picked it up, it was the elbow in the brake booster line

After driving around a bit more yesterday it seems that the shudder at idle has not been fixed. I guess it just doesn't show up when I first start driving. Only when the truck is warm. So I'm not too sure what is going on with it..
