Yep, entirely possible. If it hasn't been addressed yet, good chance that it is at least part of the problem.

Does it start doing it immediately at startup? Or, does it take about two minutes for it to start misbehaving?

How old are your O2 sensors? If they are new, what brand?

Just unplug the upstream sensor . You will get a CEL for it but the PCM will run on preset perimeters and should run just fine , if the sensor is an issue . Bosch is certainly hit and miss with OBDII magnum engines .
