What are the code numbers?

I seriously doubt all your O2's went out at once because they themselves are bad.

What leads you to believe the computer is bad? The truck runs horribly?

Take it over to Autozone or Advance and get the codes read - and post the exact codes here. They will be "P" followed by 4 numbers. I *HIGHLY* doubt that all 4 O2's are bad OR the PCM is bad. We have competent people here who can analyze the codes and provide advice.

Code *NUMBERS* please! P0171? P0174? Anything else?

If it's only those 2, you probably have a vacuum leak, most likely the PCV elbow behind the intake manifold.

See why we want CODES?

Ah---- jay dog, the guys are trying to tell you they don't trust what you are saying with second hand info and opinion..
Get the codes and get back here and begin all over again, if you want to be helped.
That's why you came here and asked, now be a good boy and do it!.
