You could be running a little lean. My O2s are bad most likely from hanging out in the open air for 4 months unde rthe truck in rain and all that BS. Stewart which sensor sdid it set of bank 1 or 2 and sensor 1 or 2? For ex. bank one sensor two ould be driverside second sensor which would indicate that the code isnt turned off for th no cats since you did away with the cats. If Allen didnt turn off the second sensors then that smost likely the code you are throwing which isnt a big deal. Get Allen to retune it

i was just glad that he made the lil light go away. ill hit up o-reily and see what it is this time. i dont understand why it would go so long without throwing any codes but then throw 2 in 2 weeks?

Element 80 and Dave68RT , and whoever else is still interested.
I will definately let you guys in on when Allen will be down here in Conroe.
I have a problem with my truck and HAVE to have his tune taken out of my truck, along with the new speedo, and the caked up rubber underneath the truck that the pressure washer didn't see!
After Feb 19th the truck will be going back to the dealer for a while. The assistant service manager told me that he has to send out a GM engineer to reavaluate my rear brakes. The 7th brake job didn't work!!!!!!! 
He drove the truck today and said the brakes are worse than he expected or ever even felt in another truck.
He preped me by telling me I need to place the factory tune and speedo back in, and clean the rubber away from under the truck before I bring it back in to them. He said that the GM engineer will void the warranty if he sees any of this.
I have problems! Hopefully I will be able to make the GTG if I get my truck back in time.
Until then, put as a ?????? for the time being.
No more mods for now or anytime soon.

What is a Lemon?
A vehicle that continues to have a defect that substantially impairs its use, value, or safety. Generally, if the car has been repaired 4 or more times for the same Defect within the Warranty Period and the Defect has not been fixed, the car qualifies as a Lemon. All States differ so you should consult the Lemon Law Summary and the State Statutes for your particular State. Note that the warranty period may or may not coincide with the Manufacturer's Warranty.
Do I have a Lemon?
If the paint is peeling, the light switch came out when you pulled on it, the car makes "funny noises" but otherwise drives just fine, or you found 10 things you don't like about your new car but none of them prevent you from driving it, then No, you do not have a Lemon.
If the brakes don't work, the car won't go into reverse gear, the darn thing won't start on cold mornings or hot afternoons, the rear door opens all by itself, the driver's seat wobbles, or the car chugs along at 30 mph when it should be going 50 mph, then Yes, you may have a Lemon. Providing you've given the manufacturer an opportunity to repair the defect.
In most States, 10 different defects during the Warranty Period does not brand the car as a Lemon. In some States, a single defect that might cause Serious Injury makes your car a Lemon if the manufacturer cannot fix the problem within 1 attempt.
You may have a Lemon, but if you do nothing to protect your Consumer Rights, such as documenting your Repairs and allowing the Manufacturer a chance to fix the problem(s), you lose all rights under the various State Warranty Acts.
Do I need a Lawyer?
The answer depends upon which State you Purchased or Registered your car in. In some States and with proper documentation, you simply file a Complaint. In other States, you will need to hire an Attorney.
Who pays the Lawyer?
Only about half of the States allow you to recover Attorney Fees. If your Attorney sues under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, you will be awarded Attorney Fees if you win. Note that an Attorney's Fee is based upon actual time expended rather than being tied to any percentage of the recovery. In some States, you must pay the manufacturer's Attorney Fees if you lose.
