02 sensor problem?

So I have a 2003 f250 with the 5.4 and this past few months have been battling mileage issues, I recently replaced the o2 sensors asI found that the old ones had 1 reading 0.000 volts and the other was reading outside the spec.

now with the new sensors I still have 1 reading 0.000 volts according to the manuals i dont see any fuses for the o2 sensors on this truck is this correct?

If your truck is an OBD1 calibration, it doesn't have downstream sensors so you get a reading of zero.

It is an obd 1 clibration

I was assuming and maybe incorrectly that since That was the only other o2 sensor reading it was reading the other upstream sensor and mislabeling it as a downstream.

Well, you now know you don't have an O2 sensor problem.

So am I correct in assuming that there is no reading the other 02 sensor then?

There are no bank 2 downstreamsensors to be read.

If you need more specific answers, you'll need to ask more explicit questions about specific details.

Thats interesting I am pretty sure a V-8 motor has both banks and I have 2 upstream Oxygen sensors. So if the 2 O2 sensor isnt bank 2 what is it? every-time I have ever dealt with oxygen sensor the bank referenced the side of the V motor and then the number after that inicated the position in the exhaust system.

Oops, I should have said "there are no downstream O2 sensors", not "bank 2 sensors". I'll edit the above.
