So something weird has been happening and I'm curious if anyone else has had the same issue. I haven't thrown parts at it but I'm pretty sure I have a failing o2 sensor (yay me right?). But something I've noticed over the past month is after about 2-3 full throttle pulls the truck throws a CEL for the rear o2 sensor, but ONLY after 2-3 sustained full throttle pulls (I'm assuming that's the cycle the computer needs in order to throw a code). If I drive like I normally do it shuts off after about 2-3 days and I don't have any other issues with the truck. No other symptoms such as fumes, smoke, misfires or odd idles. 5.4 3V with 196,000 miles.

For some reason I thought it was filled out. But not to be smart but I would figure 5.4 3v and 196,000 in the 09-14 F-150 section would be a dead give away.
