Default Starting Issues

Lastnight I went to go pump gas because I had a little bit under a quarter tank when I finished filling it up, my truck wouldnt start this is the second time it does this to me at the same gas staion damm Shell V-Power. Anyways first thing that comes to mind is fuel pump I turn the key and wait for the littel noise and its there still thinking it is my fule pump I give the gas tank a few kicks and went to start again and nothing. I then go under the truck and check the O2 sensors they seem fine i move the wires around and go to start up and it started up just fine. So now im Im thinking I have a bad o2 sensor. No Check Engine light by the way. Any ideas guys the truck turn on fine now but I just dont want to be left at a gas station next time I pump gas.

I'd get underneath there and re-check all the wires, considering you just swapped your trans you may have disturbed something or left something loose. Did this problem happen before the trans swap, and does the truck crank, or do you get nothing when you turn the key?

Listen very close for the fuel pump to prime when you turn the key on.

It did it once before the transmission swap and yes it cranks but no start it had also done it a while back when I got home from getting my long tube headers install but that time it was just dead no crank so what I just disconnected the battery and connected it back up and started up fine.

I have listened to it and it sounds the same as usual I have always had the habbit of turning the key untill it primes all the way and then crank it to start.
