If you are missing sensors, I would imagine that would be a cause for codes. Search by VIN for O2 sensors on a mopar site. See what you come up with. They might have diagrams. https://www.moparpartsgiant.com/

There will be 4 sensors and 4 wires. Three are on the transmission harness and one is on the engine harness. The O2's go on either end of each mini-cat.

If your truck has been swapped with a 97-00 federal Y pipe, then you'll have 2 "factory" bungs and likely a third put in by a welder and one likely hanging out somewhere.
