Thanks for the info, I've been looking into some of the stuff on dodgetrucks.org too.
That vehicle is driving me crazy!

IIRC DC did have a problem with condensation on these engines, look here

If it's only on one bank than it can't be IAT, ECT or MAP, It sound like your on the right track with the O2 sensors. How does the truck run with one or both O2 sensors disconnected?

The 4.7 has just one cat. conv, and one upstream, one downstream O2 sensor. As per OBD it shows these as Bank 1 , but the sensor does measure the whole exhaust.
I've read out the IAT, MAP, TP, ECT sensors with the scanner and they do all show reasonable values. (checked against calibrated shop meters where possible)

The condensation trouble has hit hard on the vehicle- at the temps we have now it gets "more oil" no matter how long you do drive.
