Yes.

My neighbor is a Ford guy and he also works on trucks. He thinks changing out the O2 sensor with a newer one will pull a code. I never understood the logic of keeping with an old sensor.

BTW, your mileage will go up. Very significantly.

Pull a code meaning.. it'll set a check engine light to on.

I think the neighbor is wrong.

A leaving a bad O2 sensor in is one of the faster ways to ruin your catalytic converter.
