Default bypass 02 sensors?

if you have a bad o2 sensor could you just use the "non foulers" trick to bypass it out of the way, or when they go bad their bad? and is that all the pcm reads is a constent bad signal???just a random thought, i have a cali truck with 4 sensors and those arent that cheap when i have to replace them.

Yeah, you cannot "trick" the pre-cat sensors because those are used by the computer to determine the air/fuel ratio.
