Where is the third o2 sensor located, and is it a bitch to get out? My dad just called me and said that his check engine light came on. He took it to a parts store where they did a diagnostic check. It said the third o2 sensor was bad. I haven't confirmed this yet, nor have I looked under the truck to find it. I will see him in the morning before work and planned on changing it out for him. I know o2 sensors aren't that hard to change, but I was just wondering if anyone can give me a heads up on where it is exactly. I'm thinking it's behind the cat. I have the correct socket already.

I dont know what the 1st 2nd or 3rd is, but the one youre probably missing is one on the topside near the cat. There is an o2 sensor that you can not see by crawling under the truck. You have to pretty much feel for it to get to it.

I had to replace all my o2 sensors on my previous Dodge Ram and this one was the one I had a hard time finding.
