If you can't feel anything like a miss or any other performance issues it is usually a emissions problem that can wait. Do go to AutoZone and have the code read then post the number here.

Yeah you need to have the code read, because it could be something other than the O2 sensor. Congradulations on the truck, what motor did you decide to get?
