its the one pre cat that is bad if your getting bad mileage tho, engine side of the cat, just to clarify, controls the a/f ratio and how much gas you are burning
Just lookingto clarify. There are 2 different answers. Is it the pre or post cat you would want to change?

well the parts guy at napa auto told me there are 2 sensors to replace and im not sure if he meant one post and one pre or 2 pre cat so im going to wait and see if the new plugs and throttle body cleaning make any difference first. i know i have been running on a spare on the front left of the truck but i have a new tire i am putting on in the next couple of days

I had the same setup as you and got low 18's on the hiway... city well I never measured city mileage as it'll never be the same twice.
