Oxygen sensor went out at around 28,000. Hind sight is 20/20. The engine sludge buildup was the cause

problem #1

Jul 152008

Ram 1500 SLT 4.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 32,000 miles

Another oxygen sensor went out. The biggest pain in the ass is my truck bogs down and will only run about 45 MPH.
