Mike,
You couldn't have been more right if you'd been standing next to me.
I got under the truck the other night, followed the O2 sensor wire, and sure enough.... a snag which had broken the insulation and had some strands hanging out (right over/on the front axle).
A butt splice, some tie raps, and the truck has been strong for almost
50 miles now.
I think it's actually running BETTER now because the wire I fixed was actually cut through, so the 02 sensor probably wasn't reading.
Again, thanks so very much for taking what could have been a nightmare and making it into a 1-2-3 project.
I say one more time
U R the MAN!!!!
