    The CEL came on after my friend helped me change the spark plugs last October, and the traction control didn't get disabled...?

    My mechanic simply plugged in his code reader and got the light to go out in a matter of seconds.

    Was good; 8 miles until 144K and not only do I believe that my oxygen sensor has failed, but it would appear that one of the wheel speed sensors has given up the ghost and that's messing with the traction control...

    :annoyed:

    My former mechanic uncle says that driving the truck will not harm it, but I have this OCD thing about having warning lights glaring at me; Please HELP!

    Wonder if the Codes could be related to the Frame Swap or different Alternator? If you have access to alternate transportation then l would just park your truck until you can get it checked.

    On another note, my new Optima does have higher cold-cranking amps than factory specs...

    Probably not Charlie. You have 140k+ miles on your truck. These sensors will start causing CEL’s as they get to end of service life.

    What about the battery voltage (quoted above), and the wheel speed sensor (below)?

    So once my buddy replaces the oxygen sensors tomorrow, those should go away? And the wheel speed sensor might actually be fine?!?!
