Your truck has two oxygen sensors. In a 2001 Dodge Ram pickup 1500, the O2 sensors are located at the point where both pipes enter the catalytic converter and about one foot behind it. Some signs that you may notice include increased fuel consumption and excessive smoke from the exhaust. The oxygen sensor in your vehicle detects oxygen levels in the exhaust gases as they leave the engine. It is recommended to replace this sensor every 60,000 to 90,000 miles as it is a part that wears out and eventually stops functioning. Shaped like a spark plug, the sensor extends into the exhaust stream of the car's engine. Its role is to determine the oxygen levels in the exhaust to allow the engine to adjust the fuel usage for optimal efficiency.
