Default 2000 dodge ram no power

hardly any power, and kind of spudders on me going through town sometimes, gotta pump the gas to get her going normal again. Had it on the code reader and says all 3 Oxygen sensors are crap..so hopefully change them do you think this will fix it? what else could it be?

Three??? You should have two, or four..... california emissions?

Probably plenum is blown, and has caused fouled pre-cat O2, and clogged cat.

If youve got codes showing for 3 bad o2's, why are you even asking whats wrong? Lol o2 sensors control the air/fuel ratio in your truck...

Check for clogged cat too, and if it is bad, replace the plenum and cat, like HeyYou said.

They are probably all three fouled because your plenum is blown, sending oil through your combustion chambers and out your exhaust, all over the o2's. The plenum repair is pretty simple, do that in conjunction with a new cat and o2's and you will love it even more
