P0174 Basically this means that an O2 sensor in bank 2 detected a lean condition (too much oxygen in the exhaust). On V6/V8/V10 engines, Bank 2 is generally the side of the engine that doesn't have cylinder #1.
P0140 Basically this means the an O2 sensor in Bank 1 detected a lean condition, same as mentioned above. Bank 1 is the side where cylinder #1 is.
In the vast majority of cases, simply cleaning the MAF sensor does the trick. Consult your service manual for it's location if you need help. I find it's best to take it off and spray it with electronics cleaner or brake cleaner. Make sure you are careful not to damage the MAF sensor, and make sure it's dry before reinstalling.

P1133 and P1153 indicate that the HO25 Sensor has gone bad. There the O2 sensor to the left and right bank at the exhaust manifold. When the engine first start's the PCM runs on a open loop and ignores the O2 readings till it reaches it's operating temperature. Once the operating temperature has been reached the diagnostic will only run once per ignition cycle and if the PCM detects a lesser then specified value, a DTC of P1133 or P1153 will come up.
Once the problem has been repaired, after 3 start cycle will reset the MIL light. If the O2 is just dirty and slow to heat up try cycling the ignition start 3 times and the light should go off if the O2 sensor does not fail.
Try cleaning the MAF first and see if the light comes off after a few ignition cycle, If the service light is still on you can always have Auto Zone clear the DTC codes and see if it comes back which then check the left and right bank wire harness to the O2 sensors. 
Good luck and hope this helps, keep me posted.

Diagnostic Codes

If they are old, just replace them. I know $75 a pop is a bit pricy, but dont just buy one. Buy a set if the ones your replacing are old. If one is going out, the other is shortly behind. I dont really have a preferance so choose at your own will.

P1133 p1153

P1153 AND P1133 ARE THE 2 FRONT OXYGEN SENSORS NOT WORKING BY CODE, BEFORE REPLACEMENT OF THIS SENSORS, MAKE SURE THE FUEL PRESSURE IS CORRECT AND NOT TOO RICH OR TOO LEAN, ALSO MAKE SURE THE ENGINE IS SMOOTH WHEN IDLE, IF A MISFIRE OR MORE IS THERE REPAIR THE MISFIRE FIRST THEN CLEAR THE CODES AND DRIVE IT 2 CYCLES FIND OUT IF IT IS CORRECTED, THEN IF THEY COME BACK REPLACE BOTH OXYGEN SENSORS UP STREEP ON TOM OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTOR.

Diagnostic codes

p1133 O2 sensor insufficent switching (pre converter, left bank)

p1153 ) 02 sensor insufficient switching preconverter right bank

P0420) catalyst system efficiency below threshold left bank

P0151) 02 sensor circuit high voltage pre converter right bank

and p1460 unfortunately I don't have handy..... But REALLY sounds like you need to replace the Oxygen sensors in front of the catalitic converters... There is dual exhaust coming from the engine to one muffler in that truck, there are a total of 2 converters and 4 O2 sensors (1 in front of converter and 1 behind it on both of the pipes) Front ones are definetely shot!!!! Be prepared to put the rear ones in shortly after!!!!! they are about $80 canadian each at the jobbers and probably more at the dealer!!!!!
