    the truck is skipping out when the engine runs for a little while. lost all power on take off and when you get up to about 55mph the truck starts to shake and the rpm drop.

    I got a guy at as shop to hook it up and he told me that both of the o2 sensor was out and something like blank 1 and blank 2 sensor.
