it is a very important sensor it tells your computer how much gas or oxygen is left over in the exhaust and if it goes bad or you decide to remove it your gas milage will drop by 2 or 3 mpgs

Justin is right on the money, although I had my O2 sensor go out and my MPGs dropped by about 6. I'd say it is very important.

the o2 sensor is a part of the system that controls the fuel mixture in your truck so......problems with it can cause rich or lean fuel ratios and all of the problems assotiated with that(fouled plugs, preignition, could damage the cat...ect).
