vacuum leak perhaps...when I did my headgasket my friend and I were mystified as to why my truck would run for ~3 seconds and then die. Turned out we missed a vacuum line.

What year is your truck? that makes a difference where your o2 sensor is. It is either under the heat sheild, or there is one before the catalytic converter and one after. The pictures are hard to see, but the missing wire one looks like it has something to do with cruse control. I cant make out much out in the picture in regards to the vacume hose.
