If where you live requires an emission test then the truck won't pass without converters. The ECM (computer) needs the input from the O2s to make the engine run properly.
They are located on the exhaust right before the cats.
Don't know what your original reading was, but the O2 sensors before the cats moniter how the engine is running and the O2 sensors after the cats moniter how the cats are performing.
I have a 99 f150 w/ the v6. You actually have 4 o2 sensors. 2 upstream of the cats and 2 down stream of the cats
There are 4 sensors, though not all of them are technically called "oxygen sensors. There are two that are upstream of the catalytic converters, one on each bank. Then, there are two more, one after each catalytic converter, that are oxygen sensors, but officially they are called catalyst monitors, because that is the job they are assigned to do. To recap, the two before the cats (or upstream), are oxygen sensors, and the two after the cats (or downstream) are catalyst moniters. Although all 4 of them are oxygen sensors, their titles are different.
4. Two before the cats and two after.
4 2 in front of the Cats and 2 between the two cats on each side.
front and back of the topofmotor passenger side ........ and on cats
4 total, 1 each side after the exhaust manifolds, but before the cats, and then 1 each side after the cats.
There are 4. Two before the cats and two after.
On my 1998 Ford Expedition XLT , There are 4 Oxygen sensors. 1 each in front of the Cats. and 1 each behing the cat. for a total of 4 Oxygen Sensors.
there are two located on the y pipe prior too the pre cats and one more in the rear converter
Assuming you have the V-6 engine, it has two downstream (after the cats) O2 sensors and two upstream (before the cats) Air/Fuel Ratio Sensors. So the answer to your question is two O2 sensors.
