Oxyegen sensor

Hi Folks,

I keep getting the code "179 (M) Fuel system was rich at part throttle Single, Right or Rear HO2S - Fuel control" after my check engine light has been coming on....

Think that replacing the O2 sensor will fix the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Yep everything on the truck is pretty much stock.

Thanks for the help. .

Are there any tricks to replacing the oxygen sensor?

I'd shoot it with come good penetrant and let it soak in for a few min before attempting to muscle it out.

Then make sure there is some anit-seize on the new one before you go to install it. Just make it nice and snug, not overly tight upon reinsatallation.

Enjoy your better running vehicle.
