engine running right

Been a while since I posted on here but its been a crazy few weeks. got the truck done at muffler shop maybe a mth ago and it ran good, more bottom end ***** with headers. changed the header gaskets and that helped big time but 4 trouble codes started popping up and then after a couple days started running shitty..i took batt term off and codes cleared and she ran good again. after a couple weeks of this I took it to a shop and he scanned it with a much better scanner than mine. he said the 2 rear 02s were junk, I never changed them. the fronts were not wired completely correct so she barely ran right..amazing for nearly 2 years of driving it. when I got it back it ran a heck of a lot better but a bank 1 lean code came up. he said it was either an exhaust leak b4 02 on that side, a lower intake leak, vac, on that side or a fuel pressure issue...I found a total of 4 place all in a tight area the guy missed. took it back and he said he fixed it..nope..still leaked, I fixed it at work..i work in a bodyshop. drove it home and checked for codes...all good, no codes..lol, til it starts giving those cat codes. the next morning on the way to work the abs lite pops on and I found the man locking hub on drivers side was awol...Friday tried to drive it to work and it was making some god awful noises, the left front hub n bearing is shot...and the locking c clip is gone so I have to go to dealer in morning..so I finally get it right and cant drive it because the bearing needs fixed...always something right
