Scotty my catalytic converter was stolen. That was the issue and reason for the codes. My wife didn’t look even after I told her to. Thanks for your help though. I do live in Dallas so I’ll have to get it fixed.

Sounds okay to me and you can live with those stupid codes that just means it's an oxygen sensor heaters don't work and they're super expensive and all that does is warm them up a minute faster than they normally go

The original 02 sensors did not have a heater in them and worked just fine.  Like Scotty said, the heaters just make the mixture quicker to read by the ECU.  Do you really go to Jiffy Lube?  I wouldn't take my lawn mower to those guys.  Before we were married, my wife took her car there and they forgot to tighten the drain plug.  After tightening the plug and cleaning up what looked like a 2 quart oil spill, I made her promise never to go to them again.

Scotty my wife went outside to go to work and this is what the truck sounded like with codes (P0057 HO2S heater control circuit low bank 2 sensor 2) repeated on three lines. I recently had the oil changed at Jiffy Lube as I’m working out of town at the present and it was due service. I keep my vehicle very well maintained. Is my car ruined?!?!
