Fixed all O2 sensors and converters and my check engine light is still reading bad sensors. Could it be the wires or maybe a bad computer? I need to pass emissions! Help please

Ok auto parts can scan for that usually for free. However I see you have a 8.2 big block in this vehicle. They used to loosen the intake bolts from running so try tightening them up first. Tighten them starting with second series, arrows show. Also in sequence shown. See pics this may cause the O2 sensor problem as it may be lean. However you'll need to use a scanner to erase the code.S
