Default P2629 Code

My 2011 5.0 Check engine light came on, and indicated a bad O2 sensor, Bank 2, sensor 1.

Are there any tricks to changing this?

I wouldn't be so quick to say the sensor itself is bad. These are the causes I get from fords WSM
corrosion
incorrect connections
open circuit.

do you know the wiring is good to the sensor on the truck side?

Actually, it decided to snow last night, and it’s just warmed up to 35 degrees.

I was going to wait until this afternoon when it warms up a little hopefully.

I’ve heard a few stories about on some trucks people pulling the front tire off / etc to get at sensors, and I’m hoping somebody tells me no problem, 10 minutes with the right socket will have it out.��

It warmed up to almost 50 degrees.

I got on the web, looked up the sensor - $66.99, in stock.

I had a $10 Autozone coupon, so it cost me $56.99.

I then got a form to fill out for a $20 gift card for buying a Bosch sensor from Autozone.

It was kind of a pain to get to, as I had to tweak the heat shield a little to get my wrist past it.

Otherwise - not a bad chore.
