The sensors attach into the exhaust and have an electrical connection on the end. Are you asking about crossing the wiring connection? Remove and replace one at a time so you don't.

If your truck calls for different O2 sensors in front and in back of the converter then obviously you could mix them up. Mixing them up could confuse the computer into giving an incorrect fuel/air mixture.
