Replace the Oxygen sensor. If your truck reacts like mine did you will lose a bit of power but gain some mileage.

Don't replace anything until you check for codes. You will end up replaceing everything under the hood trying to guess what your problem might be. Check for codes, post results, and we can go from there.
